Save the date – Saturday, June 29, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year to celebrate July 4th, LUN is taking the reins and hosting the Second Annual Lowry Independence Parade and Festival at Tailwind Park, E. 5th Avenue and Alton Way in Lowry.

The pet and human parade will march around Tailwind Park on Saturday morning and will be led this year by the Denver Police Mounted Patrol. (Members of this attractive unit pictured below.) Decorated pets, kids, bikes, strollers, other wheeled vehicles and adults all welcome. Prizes will be awarded in several categories including cutest decorated dog, kid and adult. LUN will again be providing decorations for all.

Music will be provided by Rockin’ DJ Rob. Food will be available for purchase at reasonable prices (think no food trucks) and games and face painting will be available for the kids. There will also be community booths to support our local organizations and businesses here in Lowry. This fun-filled, family oriented celebration is sure to bring smiles to faces of all ages.

Our goal is to encourage all Lowry neighbors to come out, get together and strengthen our community.

It takes a village to pull off an event like this, so we are looking for volunteers that would like to help us make the second annual a terrific year. Please contact Denny Head at dehead1@comcast.net or connect@lowryunitedneighborhoods.org if you want to help.
