4 little words: Christmas in the Park, every year, keep us coming back! Very family friendly! A couple of Summers ago, we enjoyed "Music in the Park" during the Summer months. Sadly, too many people smoking their dope out in the open RUINED IT for us family folk!

Grab a blanket and just watch the people, head to the Grill on the Alley at the Fairmont when you get thirsty for the best happy hour in town.
