Party in the Park presents a series of Sunday special events

Spend your September Sundays meeting and enjoying your neighbors during a special series presented by Party in the Park, a popular City of Iowa City program. 

Each event will occur on Sunday afternoons, and has its own theme and entertainment. These gatherings are being hosted in neighborhoods with larger populations of student residents, and are an opportunity for neighborhoods to kick off the new school year and welcome their new neighbors. 

There is no fee to participate and all ages are welcome. Each event will include food, giant yard games, kids activities, and a variety of live performances. A large finale event will feature a stage and catered food truck fare. Schedule and details below:
