    Join us on Friday, October 30th, for a day full of fun, flavor, and community, along with these exciting new highlights:

    - An expanded layout
    - A Mardi Gras-themed parade
    - Delicious food from even more incredible vendors

    We're also excited to offer a 30th Anniversary Commemorative Mug and special community-designed t-shirt!

    Get your tickets now! You don't want to miss this spectacular event!

    Proceeds from this event will help build affordable housing for local families in need, giving them the chance to purchase a home built by YOU!
