Every year this Ivy Hill Neighborhood Association’s Food and Music Festival brings out crowds always eager to come back again the next year. Now for the 13th year in a row, the sharing different foods from different cultures and ethnicity is here again. And even more, the jazzy time is on again. With non-stop music and everyone from Grandma to grandchildren can get up and shake it.
There’s no greater joy than watching our children having fun, playing games, singing songs with their families. The Ivy Hill Youth Chorus will be singing and everyone will enjoy local jazz and classical music.
Everyone is asked to bring more food, chairs and umbrellas -- we’ve got the great music! There will be games for the youngsters including face painting as well as a popcorn machine. For grownups there will be services such as health tips including having blood pressure taken. Also International food will be offered and the chance to join with friends in this grand outing.
