Fridays in the Park

09/05/2024

Friday is your last day to get up and dance to fantastic music. Super Mercado tacos, Crumbl Cookies, Public Landing libations and a Kate, the facepainter. Come early to get the best spot on the lawn and stay late. Bring Grandma and a blanket. Last but not least, bring your donations for Guardian Angel Womens Shelter and supplies for homeless vets. It's been a fabulous summer series so let's go out with a bang!

The final concert of the season is Friday, Sept. 6th on Lincoln Landing. The Class of '68 is performing and here is a great idea for you. If you are the class of '68, contact your classmates and make this a mini reunion! We already have one school coming and it will be fun to have more. We have a taco truck, outside bar and face painting for the grandkids. Bring your lawn chairs and be prepared to hear the music you know all the words to. We will have the band give a shout out to each of you. Let me know ahead of time if you are coming as a group and I will let the band know. And don't forget your donations for Guardian Angel in Joliet.
