(If your family would like to just have the treats inside the eggs, you can take those out and then recycle the eggs with us at the event.)
This program is cosponsored by Friends of Stead Park, Foundry UMC, and DC Department of Parks and Recreation.

Please accept my sincere apologies for this late notice of Munchkins in Logan Circle's 12th Annual Little Goblins Parade slated for Saturday October 28th at 1pm!
While we’ve enjoyed 11 wonderful years marching down P Street, it’s now time to pivot! You may also be aware of the wonderful ongoing renovations underway at Stead Recreation Park—it’s going to be fantastic! However, the renovations are not completed yet and it seems logical to have The Little Goblins Parade at a location that can provide space as well as a playground. So….this year’s Little Goblins Parade will be held just a few blocks down from Logan Circle at Garrison Elementary School! The Little Goblins will parade around the perimeter of the school and then move onto the school track and field for more parading, entertainment and activities. All our favorites (the New Orleans-style marching band, stilt walker, juggler, unicyclist, strolling magicians, caricature artists, Super Soccer Stars, etc.) will be there to celebrate!
Dear Stead Park community,
You've seen the amazing work-in-progress that is our Stead Park, with the renovations underway and expected to be complete this fall. As we prepare for a full re-opening of the space, the Friends of Stead Park are looking for community input about the best ways to have our neighborhood gem best serve the needs of our community.
Would you please take 5-10 minutes to share your thoughts? And then share this survey with other Stead Park users, neighbors, and supporters who can then share their thoughts?
