South Park Township is ‘Bringing the Blues’ for Annual Community Day Event

Last Updated on Friday, 01 September 2023 21:04

South Park Township’s annual Community Day celebration will be held on Saturday, September 16. The theme for this year’s event is “Bringing the Blues.”

The event kicks off with a parade at 11:00AM.

Due to the closure of the Black and Gold playground parking lot, the parade will be staged instead at the Edgebrook Field Parking lot on Corrigan Drive. The route will be along Corrigan Drive, right onto Brownsville Road, and continue into the South Park Fairgrounds driveway. If you have not yet secured your spot in the parade, there is still time to sign up. A parade application form can be found on the South Park Township website under the Community Day tab.

After the parade, head to the fairgrounds for food, vendors, games, and entertainment. With over 130 craft and food vendors, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. There will be bounce houses, a dunk tank, a gaming truck, a petting zoo, visits with mascots from various local organizations, and so much more! New this year, is the addition of South Park’s very first Beer Garden in Fairground Building #4, where vendors will be serving beer, wine, and hard cider. There will be a children’s play zone within the beer garden area. Identification will be required.

Headlining this year’s Community Day event, is The Fabulous Booze Brothers. They will be taking the main stage at noon. Showtime Dance by Carly will, once again, be performing, and the School of Rock House Band will complete this year’s entertainment. Also, back by popular demand, South Park Township’s Hot Dog Eating contest, hosted by Blue Line Grille. Head to the South Park Township Recreation Facebook page for details on how to sign up. This event is limited to South Park Township residents only.

The South Park Township Recreation Board is still recruiting additional vendors who want to join in the celebration. Vendors are encouraged to apply online. All the details to sign up are listed on the newly launched Community Day page: http://southparktwp.com/communityday.php

Prizes will be given to the top three vendors with the best decorations that encapsulate the “Bringing the Blues” theme. For more details, reference the complete schedule of events or visit southparktwp.com. We can’t wait to celebrate our community with you!
