As if we have to say, put a placeholder in your calendar for July 3rd for a grand celebration. This year, in addition to the traditional BBQ, bonfire and epic fireworks, we will be celebrating LPIA’s 100th Anniversary. Food and fun all evening!

For the 100th, we will unveil a bronze plaque, receive official proclamations from government officials and hear a few words from LPIA descendants of the organization’s founders. We’ll share a special birthday cake and maybe even have a champagne toast. After all, making it to 100 is impressive!

5PM Parade Kickoff. March, cheer, and wave those flags as we kick things off with our community parade/kiddie train ride around the neighborhood. There will also be kid-approved games and face painting in the park.🥁🎺
