The event on Saturday will be held in-person as well as live-streamed and feature performances by Uplift Acrobatics, Bill Brink, and more! Light appetizers will be provided by local businesses including: The Springfield Food Co-op and Sheri’s Place. The event will also feature a “Puppy Kissing Booth!”
