  • We've added 20 feet to the tent for a little more room to spread out.
  • Breakfast, coffee, and other drinks will be pre-portioned in compostable packaging.
  • Seating is flexible and with plenty of space to move chairs, plus standing areas at high top tables, as well as reserved tables and seating for guests who RSVP with a group.
Read our additional COVID protocols here.

If you plan to join us virtually
The Zoom link will be sent to the email you register with prior to the event. 
 
If you are unable to attend
Please consider a donation to the Parks Foundation. Your donation helps ensure the parks in our city remain accessible and equitable for everyone.
