We have five food trucks, all with mouthwatering offerings and four food carts with everything from ice cream and J-Pops, to cookies and kettle corn. Where else can you find $1 snow cones and drinks? Did you know we still have free face painting and balloon twisting for the kids? Did you know about our free tees at the Kids Art Zone (11 – 4)? Along with the food trucks and bands, we’ll be bringing you an Art Car Corral, The Artists Wrestling League, free bike repairs and helmets for kids, a dog cooling station, 40 arts and crafts booths and Community Partners that promote peace, acceptance and diversity on the Hilltop.

PAID ADVERTISING Get Your Game On! This July in Grove City Parks Warm weather and long hours of sunlight make July perfect for exploring the parks in Grove City and beyond. This is why 34 years ago, the National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA) chose July to celebrate National Park and Recreation Month. With 21 parks encompassing more than 320 acres and miles of multi-use paths, Grove City offers many opportunities to play outside: attend a special event, take a bike ride, cool off at the splash pad or just enjoy a day in a park! One way children enjoy parks that never goes out of style is on playgrounds. Grove City features 19 playgrounds of various sizes and themes including the award-winning, inclusive Dream Field Playground in Windsor Park and new equipment at Westgrove and Pinnacle parks. The most popular playground destination in Grove City for generations is Gantz Park. Last March, work began on a new playground that ensures children of all abilities can carry on this tradition. Don’t miss the grand opening of the new inclusive, nature-themed Gantz Park Playground at 6 p.m., Friday, July 5. Stay to officially kick off Parks and Recreation Month: explore the Gardens, Farmhouse and Barn then enjoy a concert by the Central Ohio Brass Band in the gazebo at 7 p.m. summer events Famous Fortress Fireworks The third annual Famous Fortress Fireworks will be held July 4 from 6-10 p.m. at Fortress Obetz, 2015 Recreation Trail in Obetz.
