We Love Homewood Day set for May 6

This year’s We Love Homewood Day will take place early this month.

The annual event is set for May 6 and has different festivities taking place throughout the day, according to the event website, homewoodparks.com/wlhd.

The We Love Homewood 5K begins at 7:30 a.m., with proceeds benefiting the Homewood High School band’s upcoming trip to Ireland in 2024. The cost is $30, with prices increasing after May 4. A kids fun run is $15 and begins at 8:40 a.m. Registration for that race ends May 6 at 8 a.m.

For another fun way to participate, the event will also include a “Scoop and Scurry Ice Cream Fun Run.” All race finishers will earn a free scoop of ice cream at the end of the race, according to the website.

Attractions include rides, bounce houses, slides and more.

There will be a festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m at Central Park, with a parade to begin at 6 p.m. The parade will begin at the Homewood Library and travel west on Oxmoor Road. The parade will conclude after making a right on Evergreen Avenue.

From 7 to 9:30 p.m., there will be street dancing in Edgewood to finish out the evening.
