A big event is returning to Chippewa Township in 2022.

The township will be hosting its Community Day from 4:00-8:00 PM on Saturday, July 9 at the Wright Fields at Veterans Park (located on the corner of 37th Street Extension and McKinley Road). Parks and Recreation director Lauren Doyle spoke about the event with Matt Drzik on the July 7 edition of A.M. Beaver County.

“We have a car show, we have food trucks, games, giveaways, inflatables, live music,” Doyle spoke in regards to the events taking place on Saturday for Community Day; the two bands playing will be Jukebox and The Granati Brothers for 90-minute sets. Along with the aforementioned elements, the McKinley Schoolhouse will also be open to the public during Community Day–a free event to the public, as well.

Doyle said that the bands played a key role in the planning for this year’s event: “We’ve had the bands locked in for almost a year, and everything else kind of takes shape after Christmas. We start really planning what we want to do and add and change and…adjust year after year.”
