Please join us the Lark Street Business Improvement Districts Annual Fundraiser Champagne on the Park, the unofficial kickoff to Tulip Fest. Join us at the beautiful formal tulip gardens in historic Washington Park. Party begins at 6:00pm with live music and dancing by Graham Tichy, offerings from Lark Street’s finest eateries and of course champagne!
In this the 26th year of Champagne on the park we are awarding the John Wagner Award, in honor of the life and legacy of Matthew Peter, a champion of the Lark Street BID and greater Lark Street community who we lost earlier this year. We hope you will join us to celebrate Matt, and continue the work he championed on Lark Street.
