Hey Kids! After you get out of school at noon, head on over to a party to kick off the summer! The band Vocal Trash has left room in their national touring schedule to visit the City of Euless. Vocal Trash will have you dancing and singing your way into the new summer. We all are familiar with “Stomp,” a popular drum act of which the members are known to play everything from trash cans to kitchen sinks. Toss in some horns, acoustic guitars and a touch of comedy and you have Vocal Trash.

The Midway Recreation Center swimming pool will be open. There will also be bounce houses, face painters, strolling magicians and much, much more! Free for everyone! Concessions will be available for purchase.
