On Saturday, July 23rd, the 5th Ward was the place to be as we celebrated their neighbors with a day of events. We were happy to be able to bring the community together in such a fun way, and are looking forward to doing it again next summer.

Family Fest

We spent the afternoon At Foster Field, and enjoyed DJ entertainment, a gospel brunch, pop-up library, garden tours, face painting & balloon animals, BBQ, inflatables, games, and more.

Jennifer's Edibles provided brunch boxes for the first 75 people to arrive, and Community Partner tents held giveaways and passed out free swag!

No registration or tickets are required.
