A day to celebrate Hoover

The annual Celebrate Hoover Day will return Saturday, May 4. The free family-friendly event draws more than 10,000 residents of all ages to Veterans Park on Valleydale for a fun day at the park.

The event will feature a Veterans Memorial Paver Dedication, an expansive exhibitor pavilion, a car show, a blood drive and live entertainment. There will be a kids zone with inflatables and games, carnival rides, pony rides, train rides, a giant apple pie and Blue Bell ice cream.

Festivities will run from 1-5 p.m. Complimentary shuttles to the park will be provided. If weather forces a reschedule, the rain date is Sunday May 5, from 1:30-5:30 p.m.
