"The main focus of the event is to show love to our city and provide a time where families and people of all ages can come and gather in a celebration of all that is good about New Haven."

The event will include free food and beverages, "and all the free fun that people can handle."

Among highlight will be pizza donated by famous local New Haven pizzerias, snowcones,  rock climbing wall, pictures with Elmo, super heroes, and other costumed characters, an art wall, moon bounces, live music and an inspirational message from Justin Kendrick, the statement said.
