For the ninth year running, Kyle’s Plum Creek neighborhood is getting ready to celebrate with its community-wide party, Front Porch Days.
Open to the general public, the free celebration is set for May 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Plum Creek’s Fergus Park will feature moon bounces, a petting zoo, pony rides and the Jigglebus Express. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Front Porch Days without a free concert by the Emmy Award winning Biscuit Brothers, who play at 12:30 p.m.
The music runs all day long, opening with a gospel set from the Kyle United Methodist Church Praise Band.
Front Porch Days will also include a pie baking contest, washer tournament, a 5k and 1k run, an old-fashioned soapbox derby, and a skating exposition by TxSk8 Team.
