Come 'Back to the Park' on Saturday, Oct. 4

The public is invited to come "Back to the Park" from 2 p.m. to dusk on Saturday, Oct. 4, in Fairmount Park. The event will take place at 1647 N. Yale, south of Wichita State University's Brennan Hall.

This is a free family, nonalcoholic event with live music from local bands, art, food, fun and the celebration of a clean, cohesive, vibrant and healthy community.

Before the celebration, the Fairmount Neighborhood Association will have its annual neighborhood cleanup starting at 8 a.m. With help from the city of Wichita, Wichita Parks and Recreation and Waste Connection, volunteers are being asked to help clean up the neighborhood.

The event is co-sponsored in part by the Shockers Forever Student Alumni Association, WSU College of Fine Arts, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and African-American Faculty and Staff Association.
