Bluegrass and BBQ
Revamping the Bluegrass tradition here at the Park, instead of one festival, we are getting together for three nights this spring/summer. People may attend and enjoy each festival or only certain ones. Every night will have a different band and delicious BBQ. This refocuses the events on Bluegrass and its culture, so all can enjoy the roots of the traditional music. Bring your lawn chairs to enjoy jamming at the Gazebo at noon, then the musicians start playing under the Gazebo at 4:00. Instruments welcome to jam, as well as, wagon rides, cornhole, and more fun will be had at these three events. Click

Touch a Truck
Kids of all ages will have a chance to see trucks and other pieces of equipment up close and learn about their uses. Along with the vehicles on display from local companies, representatives will be on site to teach kids about safety. Kids and adults are invited to sit in the drivers’ seats and honk the horns on these large pieces of equipment.
A “quiet hour” will take place from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. for kids who may be afraid of loud noises.
Landmark Park invites you and your family to experience the Park in a unique way with our 9th annual Night at the Park event.
