Re-imagine our public spaces! This summer, Arnold and Chintimini parks are the activity hubs that anchor two miles of city streets open for people to walk, bike and play. You’ll find giant games in the parks, bicycle-powered rides, art activities, local food and drink, street installations, dance, music and more.
A parade led by jazz and funk band, DTW, will kick off the event at noon. Meet by the dance stage at the Chintimini Park a few minutes before noon to participate.
The stage line-up at Arnold Park features live music from DTW, Wild Rose, and Space Neighbors. Arrive early for a short gymnastics performance from The Little Gym.
The dance stage at Chintimini Park features swing dancing, a performance by Monica Olvera & the Fiesta Mexicana Dancers with rope tricks from Antonio Huerta (Mexican Charro), and Dance Around the World with Tehani (dance lessons).
