Last year, kids had fun blowing big bubbles and making chalk drawings.

The second Annual Beechwood Park Festival will celebrate all the progress we’ve made in the past year developing our new pocket park in the Highlands near Mid-City Mall. Entrance is free, and the public is invited to join all the fun.

We’ll feature a beer tent by Monnik Beer Co.; ValuMarket grill; music by Squeeze-bot; Squallis Puppeteers, and other children’s activities, plus much more.

• When: Aug. 11 from 4 p.m.-8 p.m.
• Where: in the park at 1620 Beechwood Ave.
