Gather & Grow invites you to Reed Park and the Miles Memorial Playhouse for a free family friendly series with art and fun activities!

About this Event

Come join us for a delightful afternoon of music with Sunshine & Strings! You get to be the musician with a ukulele strum-a-long (please bring your own instrument or there will be a handful to check-out onsite). After we take our own turn, we get to sit back and welcome back to Reed Park the gorgeous performance ensemble, String Theory. String Theory combines music, movement, and large-scale sound sculptures to bring you a one-of-a-kind experience. This one is not to be missed!

Gather & Grow invites the community to spend a day relaxing and playing in Reed Park while enjoying a range of artistic experiences. There will be activities for children and adults beginning at 4pm. Each event offers a unique opportunity to engage in hands-on art making, take in the natural surroundings, and spend time grooving to music, watching incredible performances, and having fun with the whole family!
