After disappearing during the pandemic, the beloved giant chess set is finally coming back! Join us on Saturday, June 6 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. as we celebrate the return of this iconic community favorite to Third Place Commons.
Thanks to an incredible team of volunteers, the oversized chess pieces have been fully restored and paired with a newly designed custom board, ready once again for players of all ages and skill levels.
Enjoy a morning of chess, community, and fun featuring:
♟️ Parade of Pieces
👑 Chess Costume Pageant
📚 Chess books with Third Place Books
🎨 Arts & crafts with ShoreLake Arts
♟️ Chess workshops and open play
🎂 Chess cake showcase
For those interested, participation is encouraged! To make this celebration as grand as the star of the show, please sign up here.
The board is set, the pieces are ready, and the only thing missing is you. Make your move and join us for this special community celebration!
