This historical backdrop enhances the charm of the summer gathering, providing attendees with a glimpse into Parkdale’s rich heritage.
The Parkdale Summer Party is made possible through the generous support of the Salvador Fund, which plays a crucial role in funding community-based events and initiatives that contribute to the social fabric of the region.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to join in for an afternoon of fun and fellowship. Whether you are keen on participating in the lively activities or simply wish to enjoy the community atmosphere, the Parkdale Summer Party is set to be a highlight of the summer season.
