Food trucks, bounce houses, and other amusements will open at 6PM, featuring a bubble artist performance at 6:15PM and demonstration from Master Yoo's Summit Martial Arts Taekwondo at 7:30PM. These performances will be held in the children’s entertainment area on Elm Street.

Lorraine, a local teen band, will perform a concert from 6PM to 7PM. The annual Blessing of the Badges will take place at 7PM and Element K will perform a concert at 7:15PM. These performances will take place on the main stage on the Village Green. Free hot dogs will be provided at the Summit PAL food cart.
