The Levittown Kiwanis Club will be hosting its 6th Annual Community Pride Day on Saturday May 7. The event, which is free and open to everyone, will take place at MacLaren Field on Loring Road from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Each year Levittown Kiwanis hosts Community Pride Day as a way for local organizations to showcase themselves. This event originated following the 50th anniversary of Levittown. There were so many festivities associated with that celebration that community groups wanted to keep up that spirit and camaraderie. Each organization will have a table with materials to inform residents about what they do.
In addition to information about various groups, Levittown Community Pride Day features refreshments, a DJ, pony rides, a jump castle, face painting and tattoos for the kids. It is also anticipated that the Levittown Fire Department will be there with its smoke house and the 8th Precinct will be there to talk about bicycle safety. This event is made possible by a generous donation from the Levittown-Island Trees Youth Council and donations from other community organizations that wish to help out. There is no cost to any group that wishes to participate.
"This is a great event that brings out the whole community, from sporting groups and the historical society to our PTAs and library, everyone is there and it is a good time," said Levittown Kiwanis President Gary Crozier.
