Glover Park Day is coming up on Saturday, June 1 from 11-5 pm at Guy Mason Recreation Center Grounds! Glover Park will play host to one of the Ward’s best events next week—Glover Park Day.

Never been to Glover Park Day? You are in for a treat! Glover Park Day is GPCA’s annual outdoor festival celebrating the Glover Park neighborhood. The event was started more than thirty years ago and it has grown to offer the neighborhood a chance to enjoy the outdoors together, spend time with family and friends, listen to good music from live bands, and enjoy our local businesses, crafts, children’s activities, food from local restaurants and more. This event is not to be missed!
