Event Tips:
1.) It does get chilly after sunset. Bring a blanket and a sweatshirt!
2.) Don't forget your lawn chairs.
3.) Don't have time for dinner? Come a little early and have a picnic dinner at the park. Food Trucks will be here with tasty food options.
4.) Bring some bug spray... there can be bugs outside here at the park.
