It’s here! The Greenbelt Labor Day Festival. That means it’s time to dance in the parking lot. Hunt for a book. Sing along with the band. Play bingo. Get an aerial view of the town from the ferris wheel. And, of course, eat fantastic festival food found only at this time of the year. Here is an overview of what will be happening:
Friday
Join the table tennis tournament, visit the Community Center, see the museum exhibit room and bring your entries for the art and photo shows. Then, from 6 to 10 p.m., plunge into the carnival midway. Fun, food and activity booths offer refreshments and a breather between exciting rides and games. Opening Ceremonies on the festival stage, starting at 6:30 p.m., will introduce and honor Greenbelt’s 2018 Outstanding Citizen. To celebrate our new Greenbelt hero, a reception will follow in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Building. Then, back to the stage, where Fast Eddie and the Slowpokes show off an eclectic playlist of classic blues, West Coast Swing, Motown and classic rock from 8 to 11 p.m.
