ACTIVITIESThe outdoor vendor market (rain location is inside) will be open from 10a - 4p and will include climbing brands, local eateries, lifestyle goods, and more! There will also be coffee, food trucks, beer and homemade kettlecorn served throughout most the day. In addition to everything else, we'll set up some yard games and other simple and fun all-ages activities, so stop on by and take it all in.We're also raising money to help support the South Side Mural Project, enriching the South Side with public art that expresses artistic visions of past, present, and future. The side of ASCEND's building near the parking lot will be home to the latest installment and is scheduled to be in-progress during this event. Proceeds from kettlecorn and from our Lost and Found Sale will go to benefit this cause. In addition, ASCEND will match 100% up to $1,000 of the total funds raised!

Lastly, there will be a FREE film screening of Endless Abilities at 6p. A portion of candy and popcorn sales will go to benefit CLASS. Go HERE to learn more about the film.

If you'd prefer to ignore all of the extracurriculars and stick to your routine, do not worry - there will be open bouldering, top-roping, and regularly scheduled yoga classes throughout the day.
