Looking for a perfect midweek summer outing with the family? Head to Kenmore Memorial Park (also known as Memorial Park) every Tuesday through the end of June for the popular Picnic in the Park series — a beloved local tradition since 1997.
The free events run from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at 1401 Kenmore Ave., offering live music, food trucks and vendors, shaded areas, a playground, restrooms, and plenty of family-friendly fun. Bring a blanket, chairs, and a picnic lunch — or grab something from the on-site vendors.
Recent Highlight: Mermaid Day
This past Tuesday featured Mermaids & Sea Creatures Day with live music by the Spanglish Trio. Attendees enjoyed ocean-themed activities in the beautiful park setting.
