Recreation and Parks Commission plans kite festival and family movie nights

The Guadalupe Recreation and Parks Commission held a productive meeting on June 3, 2025, focusing on upcoming community events and initiatives aimed at enhancing local engagement. Among the highlights was the announcement of a Kite Festival scheduled for June 22, which promises to be a fun-filled afternoon with free crafts, kite raffles, and lawn games for all ages. This event marks the first of its kind in Guadalupe, and organizers are optimistic about its success, especially given the area's favorable wind conditions for kite flying.

In addition to the Kite Festival, the commission discussed the return of Family Movie Nights at Leroy Park, set to kick off on June 20. This event will provide a great opportunity for families to enjoy films together in a community setting. The commission is also looking to involve local organizations by opening the concession stand for those interested in running it, thereby fostering community participation.

Furthermore, a special 21-and-up movie night is being planned for June 27, pending approval from the social club. This event aims to cater to adult audiences with classic films, further diversifying the recreational offerings in Guadalupe.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to providing engaging activities that bring residents together and enhance community spirit. As these events unfold, they are expected to contribute positively to the local culture and foster a sense of belonging among residents.
