PALMDALE – The City of Palmdale’s Thursday Night on the Square event returns this Thursday, July 24, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at Poncitlán Square (9th St. East between Ave. Q-9 & Ave. Q-10).
“This week we take a chapter from the Dr. Suess book The Lorax™ with the theme of ‘Truffalooza’,” said Palmdale Recreation Supervisor Annie Pagliaro. “Kids will craft a fuzzy dress-up mustache, a fluffy Truffula Tree, and a Barbaloot Bear.”
R&B music will be provided by Lorena Mackey & The Hi-Lites.
Now in its 14th year, TNOTS offers free live music, enticing food, free City activities for kids and an open-air market featuring specialty items. Each week, one lucky person caught “green-handed” – disposing of recyclable and non-recyclable waste in the proper container – will win a prize, courtesy of Waste Management.
The remaining schedule of events is as follows:
July 24 | Truffalooza
Kids will love paying tribute to The Lorax™ when they craft a fuzzy dress-up mustache, a fluffy Truffula Tree, and a Barbaloot Bear. Discover what’s new at Washi World.
