Easton Park hosted their annual Parkapalooza and the J.Standard team was thrilled to be part of the fun! Current and future residents brought their families, friends and furry friends to enjoy summer activities, local bites and great Texas music. This year, there was an extra sense of excitement as it was also the grand opening of the Amenity Center, a stunning resident space with a gym, pool, lounge, event space and gaming area.
It was a true hot, Texas, summer day but the summer temps didn’t stop attendees from experiencing all the Parkapalooza fun! Easton Park staff and volunteers greeted over 1,000 residents and guests under the giant, colorful balloon arch, created by the amazing Balloon Collective. Attendees beat the summer heat by touring the model homes and Amenity Center while sipping on ice-cold drinks provided by Sweet Leaf Tea, Chameleon Cold-Brew, Richard’s Rainwater and Jugo Juice. Kids went crazy for the deliciously, refreshing popsicles by Cold One Pops, while parents enjoyed chilled beverages from Sourced Craft Cocktails.
Each year Parkapalooza becomes bigger and better as it continues to deliver fun for all! Kids eagerly bounced from one activity to another with their parents in tow. Kiwi’s Party delighted the kids with amazing face painting and balloon making skills, Hula-Hoopers from Austin Oddities dazzled everyone with their stunning talent and pro-tips and Gonzo Viz had everyone awe struck as he colorfully captured the event with a flick of his paintbrush. Even the furry four-legged friends participated in the fun, happily splashing in the doggie pools, chasing after tennis balls and indulging in summer treats!
Burro Cheese Kitchen, East Side Kings and Ranch Hand satisfied appetites with delicious bites throughout the event! As everyone walked around munching on their food, they jammed out to music by Sun Radio and Dj Cass&ra. For those with a bit of a sweet tooth, Connor’s Creamery truck served up classic soft-serve ice cream and Fancy Fluff gave kids that extra sugar rush with cotton candy. As the sun started to set and the day slowly cooled everyone grabbed a lawn chair or blanket and laid out on the grass to enjoy some live music by Blue Water Highway and headliners Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. Rest assured, the kiddos had their own live music at the Kidapalooza stage with the Austin famous, Mr. Will.
We’re so happy that everyone had a wonderful time and cannot wait to start planning Parkapalooza 2020. Of course we couldn’t do it without incredible partners, sponsors, vendors and teammates! Thank you to everyone for making this magical event come to life and continue to be a big hit with the Easton Park community.
