* The celebration coincides with the Northside Ride-the-Drive Event and surrounding roads will be closed to traffic much of the day. If arriving via car, please enter Warner Park at the Northport Drive entrance. Please also bring a print out of this press release (or be able to show it on your smart phone) to show that you are attending the ceremony. The committee asks that attendees depart following the ceremony to allow more room for the festivities. There will be ample parking around the park, but no cars will be allowed to enter or park from 10:00am - 3:00pm.
