Come share some delicious food, connect with beautiful people, and enjoy the outdoor environment. There will be music, live performances and an open mic.

You are invited to bring chairs/ blankets/ tarps (as most of the picnic tables in our area are used for potluck dishes), drums, other musical instruments, a frisbee or a ball to toss. It's a great place for children. Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome.
