The Frederick Douglass Park Club - Family Day

Directions Website Contact the organization

The Frederick Douglass Park Club - Family Day First organized in 1972 Family Day has been an annual event in the north end community of Wi******er and was created to unite black families & their neighbors.

The annual event continues to bring the now multi-cultural north end community together for a weekend of education, fun and entertainment. To kick off the weekend of events, Friday, there is a FREE POOL PARTY at Jim Barnett Park in Wi******er. Saturday, we have an evening of praise & worship at the Frederick Douglass Park. The "MAIN" event is always the first Sunday in August and draws a crowd of 600-800 residents. Throughout the day spectators, participants, young and old enjoy a variety of fun. There's music, face painting, old fashioned backyard games, athletic games, vendors, a Resource Fair and much more. This all-day event is FREE including a children’s lunch & school supply giveaway (while supplies last). Frederick Douglass Park Club is a non-profit community group that relies on generous donations from the community throughout the year to host these events. We have a board of 7 members who are dedicated to Family Day and its' mission:
WE ARE A COMMUNITY, WE ARE A CONNECTION, WE ARE A TRADITION, WE ARE FAMILY DAY!
