🌟 Community Food Giveaway – 250+ Families Served!
Drive through the YMCA parking lot on Friday, June 6 from 10 AM to Noon and get a FREE trunk-load of food!

It’s going to be an unforgettable and heartwarming experience – come by, grab some food, and help spread the love!

🚗 Rev Up Your Engines for the Car Cruise!
After the food giveaway, the YMCA parking lot will transform into a chrome, rubber, and color-packed Car Show from 4 PM to 8 PM! Over 100 cars will rev their engines for a spectacular display. Registration required, and entry is a donation supporting drowning prevention programs by Team Aquatic at the Y. Don’t miss the chance to win awesome prizes while enjoying great food!

🎉 Daily Family Fun Zone – Open from 4 PM!
Bounce houses, games, activities, food vendors, and… wait for it… adopt an animal (no, not a pony, but a cute critter from our local animal shelter)! This is your one-stop spot for family fun – bring the kids, bring the energy!

🎶 Rock Out on The River – Concerts from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM!
Grab your lawn chair and kick back for a world-class concert every night, overlooking the river in the YMCA backyard! From Motown to jazz, blues to classic rock – there’s something for everyone. Come early, stay late, and soak in the sounds!  Starring Soul Street on Friday June 6 and William Patrick & The Smoke on Saturday June 7.

🏓 Did Somebody Say Pickleball?!
We’re serving up some pickleball action, thanks to the Urban Racquet Foundation and Garber Courts! Play a little pickleball in the Y parking lot, then hit up Garber Courts for some racquet sports under the lights from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM. A perfect way to keep the energy going!
