Music in the Park
One of the community’s cherished traditions is the ‘Inver Groove: Music in the Park’ series. Held at South Valley Park, these family-friendly concerts feature a diverse lineup of musical and educational performances. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy the 45-minute shows. The park’s amenities, including trails and picnic areas, provide a perfect backdrop for these events.
Hands-On Art Projects
For those interested in contributing to public art, the ‘Hands On Art- Mosaic Benches’ project offers a unique opportunity. Participants collaborate with local artists to create mosaic designs for benches at the Veterans Memorial Community Center playground and Simley Island Park. Open to individuals aged 5 and older, this initiative fosters community involvement and artistic expression.
