We’re going to celebrate the arrival of summer with a BIG PARTY, and we want you and the kids to join us! On Friday, June 5, bring your family and friends to The Midway Food Park from 2-7 p.m. for music, food trucks, a magic show, a hula dance performance, an inflatable obstacle course, face painting and healthy activities as part of the Do512 Family Kick Off to Summer. Admission is FREE with RSVP!
The lineup of entertainers is pretty rad! Magician Black Bert will wow the kids with mystifying tricks. We’re honored to have World Champion Hula dancer, Uluwehi, perform traditional Hawaiian dances (and maybe we can pick up a few moves, too.) Parents and kids can rock out to the ’60s surf sounds from The Nematoads. Boss Street Brass Band will have everyone up and dancing with their mix of New Orleans Funk and Jazz. And the evening will wrap up with a highly entertaining show from Kev Bev and the Woodland Creatures who’s main goal is to “let people dance and have fun.” Oh yeah, we will for sure!
