Let’s Go to the Park



Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods is the place to be this weekend with back to back community events.

(Does that sentence need an exclamation point? I’m not sure I’m awake enough for that yet.)

On Saturday it’s the return of the Hops and Harvest Festival from 12 to 5 PM. 




From the event page:

The Hops & Harvest Festival returns to Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods on October 12th! For 2024, Hops & Harvest is running a single extended festival session from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

This year's lineup features more than 100+ local beers, wines, and spirits with unlimited tastings, live entertainment, artisan, vendors, fresh local eateries, games, and more!

Featuring live performances by the best local artists, the entertainment lineup for this festival is great!

Enjoy activities like cornhole while letting the little ones play in the children's area.

This is a paid, ticketed event. Click here to purchase tickets. To learn more about what’s on offer at the festival, visit the Hops and Harvest website.  I’m tickled to see that local nonprofit Sobar will be there featuring NA beers and ciders. 

As with any event that centers around alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver. 

Sunday is HoCo Pride 2024! (Okay, I was ready for that exclamation point.) 




From the event page:

This year, we are celebrating Finding Vibrance Everywhere at our 5th annual HoCo Pride Festival!!

Our Pride festival is a vibrant, family-friendly event that brings together people from all walks of life to celebrate diversity, promote equality, and foster a sense of community. The festival will feature a variety of activities, including live music, entertainment, vendors, food trucks, and games.

Our goal is to create a welcoming space where everyone can feel proud of who they are and who they love.*

Pride is free and open to the public but you must register in advance for your tickets so they know how many people to expect and so they can assign parking.

Weather predictions for the weekend (as of now) look hopeful. I’m looking forward to Pride and spending an afternoon in my favorite park.
