The 2024 Eken Park Festival was the biggest and most successful event ever, so you’ll want to see how the North Street Neighborhood Association tops it this year. The festival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16, will have five great local bands, fantastic food carts and a wonderful kids’ activity section.
The festival committee has been hard at work getting ready for this community event, and it hopes to have you and your family join the fun. Eken Park is located at 2407 Coolidge St.
