July: The Adventure School Goes Public 4th of July, Bastille Day, Cal Anderson Park, The Corson Building

A few days ago, one of our new blog readers asked an excellent question:

“OK, this is fun – what’s the next event? Are these all private or are any public?”

Typically, Adventure School events are private affairs, but as luck would have it, the month of July will feature TWO events open to the public! Can I get a really huge WOOHOO!!?

The first event will happen on good old Independence Day in Cal Anderson Park and– get this– it’s FREE. Now, a description to make you wish it were the 4th of July already:

The Cal Anderson Park Alliance announces the 7th Annual Capitol Hill Independence Day Community Picnic: a day of music, food and fun to celebrate our country and community. This free event is open to the public and will be held at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill, Saturday, July 4th from 12 to 5 pm.

Bands hitting the stage all day will include kids-jammers Recess Monkey, the urban Latin beats of Picoso, the lo-fi pop of Katharine Hepburn’s Voice, and the funky soul sounds of Lady A and the Baby Blues Funk Band, not to mention buskers galore.

Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream will make root beer floats, and delicious treats will be available from Via Tribunali as well as Wandering Wieners. Caffé Vita will be on-site with coffee; attendees will also be able to enjoy free cotton candy. Party-goers will be able to participate in the All-Park Parade, try the11th Avenue Inn Root Beer tasting garden, and get involved with other free activities including a Spin Art Bike, patriotic tie-dye, a pie-eating contest, Urban Family Portraits (Any type of family!), Pet/human look-alike contest and more!

We’re also very excited about our July 14th Bastille Day party at The Corson Building. This event is going to be awesome, but you will have to fork over some moolah to attend, $25-$50 to be imprecise.

Starting at 3pm, bring the fam down to Georgetown for some inter-generational debauchery on this national partying holiday from France. We’ll have kids bands including Schoolyard Heroes and Casper Babypants, carnival games, and delicious Frenchified eats including crepes and oysters along with a variety of kid-friendly foods.

As the evening wears on, we’ll produce sparklers, some grown-up bands, and can can girls galore!
