For kids, there will be games and (argh) educational classes throughout the day, designed (it says here) to "engage and delight the participants."

At dusk, a tongue-in-cheek documentary called Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home will screen at dusk on the great lawn in front of the Levitt Pavilion.

Following the film, at about 9 p.m., singer Patrice Pike and her band will close out the evening's festivities with a live performance.
