The press release outlines multiple events including outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and guided nature walks. A notable highlight is the introduction of a new community garden project aimed at promoting local agriculture and sustainability practices. Additionally, there will be art installations and workshops designed to engage the community in creative activities.
