We hope that you have a fun and safe 4th of July.
As school ends, Mozart Park once again becomes a venue for great music, dance, and theater (as well as basketball, playing on the monkey bars, and running through the water sprayer.) Read below and review the calendar to see many of the activities that enliven this great park.
This year we will have three different performances of Teatro en el Parque / Theater in the Park on Tuesdays in July. We'll also have performances in both Spanish and English (and supertitles for each as well.) Enjoy the beautiful weather and have fun at all of them.

Main Street Recap
Beautifying the Neighborhood on April 30
On April 30, we worked alongside 44 volunteers to beautify Centre Street by planting flowers in various locations and shoveling mulch on tree pits for our street trees to help them grow during the spring, summer, and
fall. In all, we put mulch on 90 trees and planted almost 200 flowers. Thank you to all of our volunteers that day.
We'll sponsor another flower planting on Sunday, July 24. If interested in helping us, please email us at [email protected].
Sidewalk Sale on May 21
Thank you to the 25 businesses that participated in our Spring Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, May 21. We had some great street musicians, dancing by some merchants (yes, we have it on video), tasty snacks, and nice threads for sale.
We want to give a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped plan the event, set up tables, and clean up after the sale.
