There will be something for everyone, including face painting, animal balloons and bounce house for children. A variety of local food vendors will be on site for those wishing to purchase food.
The party starts at 11 a.m. with time for eating, mingling, dancing to the music and children’s activities. From 12 – 12:30 a.m., there will be a short recognition of Estero’s community leaders. Then, it’s time for more food, entertainment and dancing.
This party is geared to bringing the entire community together in a relaxed, fun atmosphere to celebrate our “new” village. This is not a political activity or a fund-raising event.
Mark your calendars now to plan on bringing your family, friends and neighbors to help celebrate our very special community. Don’t forget to bring chairs or blankets to sit on.
While this is a party for the family, dogs are only allowed in the Dog Park.
This special event is sponsored by the Estero Chamber of Commerce, Estero Council of Community Leaders, Estero Fire Rescue, Estero Forever Foundation, Estero Historical Society, Estero Houses of Worship, Estero Rotary Club and Village Council and staff.
