Linden Hill hosts annual fest Sept. 17

The Linden Hills Neighborhood Council (LHiNC) is excited to announce that it will host its annual festival at Linden Hills Park on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 12 to 8 p.m. The park is located at 3100 W. 43rd St. Admission is free; food and drinks will be available for sale.

The festival will feature delicious food from local vendors and a beer garden sponsored by Red Wagon Pizza. House of Music is working with LHiNC on an all-day entertainment line-up which will include family-friendly activities like kids’ yoga and storytime, as well as live music from local musicians of all ages. This year’s festival will also feature the return of kids’ carnival games and inflatables, plus these other festival favorites: free crafts with Heartfelt and Simply Jane, used book sale by the Friends of Linden Hills Library and LHiNC’s annual Silent Auction featuring donated prizes from all of our generous local businesses.

The Linden Hills Fall Festival wouldn’t be possible without the support of dozens of local sponsors, including our Platinum Sponsors: House of Music, Jeff Meyer’s State Farm Insurance, Linden Hills Dentistry, Maggie Taylor Homes and Mint Orthodontics.

LHiNC is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that serves the Linden Hills community.
