- Amble on over to Colton Hall on Pacific for the annual Lawn Party. This is a free event that kicks off at 11:00 A.M. and runs until 4:30 P.M. If you missed out on the face painting at the pancake breakfast, fear not! Here’s another perfect opportunity to get that butterfly or unicorn face painting that you’ve always wanted. Plenty of food vendors to sate your appetite and if you’re into music, there’s plenty of that to go around too: Operation Rock, Pop Fiction, The Money Band, and The Purple Ones.
