Citizens Day in the Park

Citizens Day in the Park is an annual summer event hosted by the City of St. Helens in McCormick Park. Citizens Day is a day focused on making and strengthening community connections. It’s an opportunity for people to put down their cell phones, turn off the television, and enjoy a day of fun in a local park with friends and family. Activities are family-friendly, free, and designed for a wide age-range. Yearly activities include a free barbeque lunch, live music, lawn games, vendors, and more.
