Grub & Groove 2023

Back for the 12th year!! Your favorite summer park party is taking place in Francis Park on Saturday August 12th. This year’s festival will feature another amazing lineup of local restaurants and a stage packed with exceptional local musicians. With a day’s worth of activities including a kids zone, retail village, and multiple bars, there is something for everyone. This year is all about community, so bring along the family, connect with old friends, and maybe even meet someone new. The best part of it all: proceeds from your dollars spent go towards improvements in Francis Park and the neighborhoods around the park.

A Full Day of Fun

There is always more to Grub & Groove than just food and music. We’ve got a full day of activities and fun for all ages to enjoy. Once you’ve found the perfect spot in the lawn (no tents allowed, bring a chair and blanket though!) you’ll have everything all around you. 13 food options from bbq to tacos, pizza to chicken, and plenty of dessert. 5 local bands will be on-stage throughout the day, playing country, r&b/soul, and rock hits. Little ones will love the Kids Zone, where you can also find a grab-n-go food option for them. Take a break from it all in the Retail Village, stopping at the official merch tent to get this year’s newest items. Adult drinks are in the ON TAP Draft Hall and the Lily Pad Lounge, with oversized yard games to enjoy with friends. The night comes to an end with fireworks at 9:15pm, and an afterparty with deejay at the Lily Pad.

Imagine Yourself in all the Fun

We love capturing attendees amidst it all! Check out the gallery below from 2023, then imagine it is you and your friends!

We love our volunteers!

Grub & Groove is managed and produced by a team of 6 volunteers. Some of our team goes back to its founding in 2012, others joined in 2015, and our newest team members have been volunteering for 5 years! But it is the community of volunteers that help us during the event that are the lifeblood. Giving us some time to sell t-shirts or run the bars allows us to put more money back into the community.

We want to extend our biggest thanks to the 60+ volunteers who helped up make 2023 a great event!
