Food trucks and vendors will serve barbecue, burgers, hot dogs, tacos, aguas frescas and snow cones to fuel carnival games and family activities. Woodlawn Lake Park is an alcohol-free environment, however.

Attendees may bring lawn chairs and blankets for seating, reusable water bottles, trash bags and sun protection such as umbrellas, sunscreen and hats. Overnight camping isn't allowed at Woodlawn Lake Park.
