What’s Front Yard Friday Festival Edition?
Front Yard Friday is a casual monthly get-together hosted in a neighbor’s front yard. It’s an easy, low-commitment way to meet neighbors, catch up, and spend a little time together.
Front Yard Friday Festival Edition follows the same casual format, but instead of gathering in one place, neighbors are encouraged to walk, bike, or drive through Shaw Butte to enjoy the displays.
You can also set up in your own front yard, driveway, or porch to visit with neighbors and share cookies, candy canes, hot chocolate, or other treats.
