Parenting Communities hosts street fair for Leelanau families

From staff reports

Parenting Communities is excited to welcome families to its fourth annual Street Fair on Saturday, July 19, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Leelanau Montessori Public School Academy campus in Lake Leelanau (7401 E. Duck Lake Rd.). In the event of rain, the celebration will be moved indoors to the VFW Hall.

This free, family-friendly event is packed with fun for little ones and their grownups alike—face painting, balloon animals, a mobile museum, bubbles, crafts, live music and movement activities, and so much more. It’s a great chance to enjoy the day together, meet other local families, and connect with Parenting Communities staff and resources.

Food and refreshments will be available for purchase from local Las Lagunas and Leelanau Lemonade.

“We’re so excited to be hosting this event for the fourth year in a row,” said Autumn Jurek, Supervisor of the Parenting Communities program. “It’s a joyful way to bring families together, highlight local programs, and celebrate all the ways our community supports young children. We’re looking forward to another great turnout!”

This event is funded by the Leelanau Early Childhood Millage, which supports early childhood development and family well-being throughout the county.
