Family Time Downtown

Goodbye, Summer Fest; hello, Family Day in Downtown! Downtown Eau Claire Inc. is launching a brand-new family-oriented event this summer: Saturday, July 8, will be the inaugural Family Day in Downtown.

According to DECI, the new shindig will be centered in Phoenix Park and “will include live music, sports, demonstrations, vendors, and an outdoor movie.”

The event will replace Summer Fest, which was typically held in August and featured many of the same street-fair elements found in International Fall Festival, which is held downtown in September.

The new event will essentially take the Family Fun Night previously held as part of Summer Fest and expand it in size and scope, says Mike Schatz, DECI’s executive director. Keep your eyes on Volume One and Chippewa Valley Family for details as this fun event shapes up.
