The community event is supported by Four Frogs Crêperie, The Buena and Yachiyo, who will have free tastings for residents, accompanied by the Jacques Emery Jazz Band, followed by FM Duo performing a range of pop and R&B songs.

To keep the kids happy, a number of activities including face painting and cupcake decorating with The Classic Cupcake will also be on.
