The volunteer group Vision Greenwood Park is hosting the 3rd annual Party in the Park from 12-4 p.m. on Sunday at Greenwood Park, (on North 87th Street between Fremont and Evanston avenues).
Bring a picnic and enjoy live music by Pickled Okra and The River Rust. Help celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Community Garden. Mayor Mike McGinn, who lives near the park, will be there at 1:30 p.m. for the official opening of the Community Garden.
VGP needs volunteers to show up an hour early to help set up tents and tables and post signage. If you can help, email [email protected].
There’s also another work party for the Community Garden this Saturday, from 12-4 p.m., and from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, and Sept. 10.
