From the City of Edgewater:

Parks and Recreation

Edgewater Community Picnic: This year we have combined events with Edgewater Collective to give you more of an experience for your Edgewater Community Picnic. This event will take place on Saturday, August 25th. The day will start with a 5k race and then will pick up again at 3 pm with events that will last throughout the evening. Of course, we cannot conclude our Edgewater Community Festival Picnic without fireworks, so we will be shooting off fireworks around 8:30pm. Please join us throughout the day though, to see the live bands, performances, food, and fun. This event is for the whole family, so bring everyone along and bring a blanket to sit and enjoy the park and the festivities.
