why we're doing it
We are facilitating a void in recreation that includes culture, entertainment, community, and healthy physical fitness within the city of Lorain, Ohio. We come together for community information & resources at Oakwood Park in a cultural festive environment. This is something unlike any community event that has been taken place in recent years, the fourth consecutive effort aims to continue that goal. This also fills a void in the city of Lorain as a two - day event held in a park during Labor Day weekend.

Big thank you to all who have supported these past three years! Now we are working with the city of Lorain to renovate and paint the courts. Please help us fund this endeavor as most grants will not support this action because it is a public property we want to renovate and improve. The money raised last year on this page will now be directed to this project! Thank you for your support please share this information!!!
