The 13th annual Morgan Junction Community Festival produced by the Morgan Community Association (MoCA) will be celebrated on June 16th, starting at 10:00 am and ending at 4:00 pm. This year’s festival will feature live music, food vendors, kid entertainment and activities, and commercial vendor and community informational booths. The festival takes place in and around Morgan Junction Park on California Avenue SW.

Notable events:

• Spatter of Morgan kicks off the afternoon. Everyone who participated last year shooting water toys filled with paint at a large canvas had a blast.
