Food Truck Fridays (5-9pm) include live music, food trucks, beer & wine tents, and retail vendors. Entry to the plaza and concert is free and open to the public!

Support the Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County!

Lake Lanier Olympic Park is teaming up with the Junior League of Gainesville Hall County to support their new literacy initiative, The Reading Crew, and you can help make a difference! Nearly half of local students are reading below grade level by third grade. This program is working to change that, and we’re proud to be part of the solution.

We’re collecting 500 books to support young readers in Hall County, and every donation counts!

Requested Donations:
• Books for kids ages 5 to 10
• Reading levels at or below third grade
• New or gently used books in good condition

Let’s come together to support local students and promote lifelong learning in our community!
