The potential for rain today has moved the Pemberville Party in the Park to the old Pemberville Elementary School on Vine Street.

The 3rd Annual Party in the Park will be today (July 2) from 1-5 p.m.

The event, hosted by the Village of Pemberviille, will feature two alternating polka bands—The Los Hermanos Band and The Aaron Dussing Band—and a dance floor to polka the afternoon away.

There will also be food trucks, games and a balloon twister. Los Agaves, Azo Heavenly Brew, The Saucy Slamwich, and OTR Smokehouse are the four food trucks that will be onsite for the party.

Pemberville Mayor Carol Bailey and the Village Council started Pemberville Party in the Park in 2021 as a way for people to “get back out there” after the pandemic.

Each year it has grown in size and attendance.  This year welcomes two bands heavily influenced by polka music. Los Hermanos is a Tejano band and the Aaron Dussing Band is a traditional polka band.

The event is free and open to the public. Attendees need only bring a chair or blanket to sit on and money for whatever food truck they wish to patronize. Everything else is free.

Supporting the event this year are Dave Hook, and Hirzel Canning Co., gold sponsors; Amplex, North Branch Nursery, Pain Neuf Bakery, and Write with Christina LLC, silver sponsors; and Groundskeeper Outdoor Solutions, Countyline Co-op and Car Care, Kuhlman and Beck, Baker Insurance, The Comfy Cactus, The Piano Works, and Obie’s Flowers, bronze sponsors.
