35th Annual Fire Station Festival

The 35th Annual Fire Station Festival honors and celebrates the partnership between the fire station and the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, the effectiveness of citizen involvement, and those who provide great service within our neighborhood. It is also where the leadership torch is passed from past to future officers of HPNA. Our fire station has been saved twice by the citizen involvement that is the raison d’etre of our neighborhood association.  Together we make a difference in what happens in our neighborhood; come together and celebrate it!

The Festival begins at 3:30 with a gathering at Shipe Park (44th and Avenue F) to form an eclectic parade that will appeal to the child in us all. Wear your favorite Halloween costume! The festival gets underway at 4:00 at the Fire Station (43rd and Speedway), where you will find live music, family friendly entertainment, free ice cream and treats, tours of the fire truck, information booths, and prizes for child, adult, and pet best costumes. Bring a finger food to share with your neighbors , and a picnic blanket or chairs.
