Friends, may I present today’s weather predictions for Columbia, Maryland:

This is an especially good thing, since two local events which had to be scrapped due to bad weather are rescheduled for today.
Over in Wilde Lake (aka Vibrant Wilde Lake) they are actually hosting two events back to back. Beginning at noon it’s Wilde Lake Fall Fest.
Join us for a fantastic day of fun at the Wilde Lake Fall Festival! Celebrate the season with the community on Sunday, October 20, 2024, from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM at Wilde Lake Park. There’s something for everyone: live music, local vendors, delicious food, trick-or-treating, and family-friendly activities. Kids will love the moonbounces, scarecrow spoon craft, and exciting games! It’s the perfect way to kick off the fall season. Don’t miss out—be part of the #VibrantWildeLake fun! RSVP HERE!
This event is free and open to the public but they’re asking you to register in advance. (See link above.)
Immediately following at four PM is Wilde Lake’s Walktober event.
Join the Wilde Lake Neighborhood Reps on Sunday, Oct. 20 at 4PM for a Walktober event at Wilde Lake Park! Choose to participate in a friendly walk around Wilde Lake (approximately 1.3 miles) or "share a bench" to get to know a neighbor.
There is no charge to attend and this event is open to all. Please join us as we seek to build community and health in our village!
True confession: I’m having some mobility issues right now and a Walktober event where I could “share a bench” is mighty tempting. I love this kind of creative thinking which expands the parameters of who is welcome to participate.
Also rescheduled for today, the Columbia Orchestra Pops Concert at the Chrysalis (Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods) beginning at 4:00 PM.
Presented by BWFA, this free, family-friendly performance by the Columbia Orchestra is the perfect way to spend a beautiful evening outdoors enjoying music in the park.
Don’t miss this fun and exciting musical journey filled with possibilities as the Columbia Orchestra performs a captivating program of popular pops melodies for all ages, including thrilling themes from classics like "Star Wars" and "Mission: Impossible."
The program also includes beloved jazz standards such as Duke Ellington's swinging "Just Squeeze Me" and the dreamy ballad "So Many Stars." Bring a blanket and enjoy this delightful musical journey through galaxies both near and far!
Register for your free tickets here.
The Pops Concert has been a fixture of each season in the Park since it opened in 2017. The ongoing collaboration between the Columbia Orchestra and the Inner Arbor Trust has produced some lovely musical events. I hope there will be many more.
I intend to be at this concert but several logistical problems are conspiring against me. Here’s hoping.
