This high-energy festival invites families to come together for a celebration of active play and community spirit. Attendees can participate in a variety of classic field day activities, including the iconic three-legged race, a whimsical egg and spoon walk, and engaging family freeze dance sessions.

Guests will also enjoy live entertainment on the main stage featuring performances from local groups like the YMCA Super Skippers and Baile Folklorico Vicky, all set to the rhythm of DJ Remedy. This event is entirely free to the public, offering a perfect opportunity to get outdoors and create lasting memories. Mark your calendars and join us for this vibrant community experience designed to inspire movement and joy for all ages.
