They’re finally here! Photos from the off-the-hook-est Independence Day party in the greater Seattle area! These puppies were taken  by local photographer and Adventure School wedding alum Eliza Truitt . As you can see, the party was mega kiddie-friendly and family (of all kinds)-oriented. And that’s how it should be on the 4th of July. Because what are we in the US of A if not one large, diverse, rockin’ family? What an awesome belated gift from the month of July!

Cal Anderson Park Alliance 7th Annual Independence Day Picnic 4th of July, Cal Anderson Park, Picoso, Recess Monkey, The Yellow Hat Band

We threw a patriotic bash for more than 1000 community members. The Cal Anderson Park Alliance hired us to produce their signature event to celebrate our nation’s favorite holiday, Independence Day! The event was free to all and featured free cotton candy, free root beer floats, free tie-dye, free spin art, free family portraits and a free root beer tasting garden. Bands played all day on the main stage including kids jammers Recess Monkey, urban Latin beat makers Picoso, Lo-fi pop from Katherine Hepburn’s Voice, and the funky soul sounds of Lady A and the Baby Blues Funk Band. Guests enjoyed pizza from Via Tribunali and dogs from Wandering Wieners. Caffe Vita served coffee and guests were free to participate in a hotly contested pie-eating contest and Pet/human look-alike contest. This was the celebration the founding father’s were waiting for!

Good God y’all, 4th of July at Cal Anderson Park was SO MUCH FUN! There were hula hoops and face painting and awesome bands and root beer floats and tie-dyed underwear and spin art pieces and pizzas from a wood-fired oven and hoards of small children. We have some fantastic pictures coming soon to an Adventure School blog near you. In the meantime, here’s a teaser to show you exactly how great the day was:
