This Saturday (Aug. 8) you can enjoy a fun -- and free! -- fiesta in front of The Seasons Performance Hall in downtown Yakima.

It's La Casa Hogar's annual Community Festival, a back-to-school celebration featuring food, live music, games, free bike helmets, free school supplies -- and kids' backpacks for just $1 each with a gently used trade-in! More than 30 vendors, businesses and agencies will be represented at the carnival-style party, which is cosponsored by the Downtown Yakima Association.

The event drew more than 1,500 people last year, organizers say, and they expect an even larger crowd this weekend.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of The Seasons, 101 N. Naches Ave.

For more information -- or to participate as a sponsor, vendor or volunteer -- call La Casa Hogar at (509) 457-5058 or visit their website.
