Festivities for the spring and summer holidays like Easter, Mother’s Day, Pride and Earth Day will be celebrated in full swing. With something for the whole family, The Square will host visits with the Easter bunny, an open-to-the-public Easter egg hunt, a community yoga class for Earth Day and a family-friendly Pride block party with live music, an artist market, art classes and story time with Rohi’s Readery.

A summer full of fun will kick off with family-friendly events like the annual Bubble Blast series with an ongoing free, outdoor bubble extravaganza every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. In addition to special events, The Square will continue its ongoing popular series including its Paint & Sip, Stroller Strides, Daytime Playtime, Run Club, Live Music and more.
