East Isles Plans a Summer Social With Food Trucks and Free Ice Cream
The East Isles Neighborhood Association holds its annual Summer Social on Wednesday, June 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Joanne Levin Triangle Park, with a rain date of June 15.
The free, all-ages gathering takes place at the triangle park at West 26th Street and Irving Avenue South, a block off the eastern shore of Lake of the Isles. Organizers are promising live entertainment, food trucks and ice cream.
The event also doubles as a volunteer pitch. The association is recruiting helpers and is offering bounce-house access for volunteers' children in exchange for a shift; residents interested in pitching in can email [email protected] with "Summer Social Volunteering" in the subject line. East Isles runs on volunteer turnout rather than paid staff, and the same residents who handle cleanups, communications and zoning comments the rest of the year are often the ones staffing events like this. The association's monthly business meetings handle zoning, parkway issues and small grants; the Summer Social is the lower-stakes occasion for neighbors to meet one another.
The park sits a block off the lake, and the path around the Isles makes the evening an easy add-on to a longer walk. Confirm the date and any weather updates on the association's events page before heading over.
