The event, now in its third year, is expanding both in scale and spectacle, moving to a new venue at Eaton Mall, promising a day filled with fun, learning, and community building.

Uniting the Community

Under the leadership of Jay.R.

The shift to Eaton Mall marks a significant expansion from previous years, providing ample space for more activities and larger crowds, thereby increasing the impact on local economic growth and community cohesion.

Celebratory Activities and Attractions

The 2023 celebration is set to be a vibrant display of culture and fun with a variety of attractions that cater to all ages. Highlights of the event include a petting zoo, offering families a chance to interact with and learn about different animals in a fun setting. For those seeking a bit more excitement, a mechanical bull will be available, providing thrilling rides for attendees seeking adventure.

In addition to these attractions, the event will host numerous local vendors. These vendors represent a wide array of businesses from the area, showcasing everything from homemade crafts to local cuisine, highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit and cultural richness of the Woodmere community.

A Community Cinematic Experience

As the sun sets, the celebration will culminate with an outdoor movie screening, turning Eaton Mall into an open-air theater. This movie screening aims to provide a relaxing and entertaining end to a day full of activities and socializing, allowing the community to wind down together under the stars.

Impact on Local Businesses and Community Spirit

This initiative by Lokul entrepreneurs and community leaders like Jay.R. Fogle, Falicia Haney, and Mayor Ben Holbert is a testament to the power of local action in fostering community spirit and economic development.
