Join us in celebrating our independence, supporting our community and our park, and having some fun doing it. The Cal Anderson Park Alliance needs volunteers to help out at the Capitol Hill 8th Annual Independence Day Community Picnic on Saturday July 3rd, noon - 5 PM. Volunteers will participate in a variety of fun activities all supporting the park and the picnic. Those include pouring root beer in the free root beer garden, applying free temporary tattoos, making cotton candy, helping with the spin art bike, assisting with the cupcake walk, and much more!

This great free all-ages community celebration is Cal Anderson Park Alliance's signature annual event. With four eclectic live bands, free root beer garden, urban family photo portraits, pie eating contest, pet/human look-alike contest, and feel-good, all-ages interactive fun. Everyone is invited: kids, hipsters, parents, friends, lovers, drag queens and all Capitol Hillsters. Performances will take the Sunbowl Stage all afternoon, among them the kids band the Not-Its, funk band Eldridge Gravy & the Court Supreme, the Toucans and the Raggedy Anns. The CAPA Root Beer Garden will be handing out root beer floats until the ice cream's gone. Skillet will be on the scene with their great food. And free cotton candy for everyone! PLUS: more free activities, including Spin Art Bike, Patriotic Tie-dye, the Cupcake Royale Cupcake Walk, and Hoola Hoop Contest. This is a family-friendly, all-ages event to celebrate our independence and our community!
