2016 Kirkwood Spring Fling

Saturday, May 14, 2016

For the past 14 years, the residents of Kirkwood have come together to celebrate art, music, food and everything that makes the neighborhood great. Saturday was no exception as thousands descended upon Bessie Branham Park for the annual Kirkwood Spring Fling. Artist booths lined the streets surrounding the park with amazing paintings, leather work, jewelry and more. Delicious smells came from food trucks, beer flowed freely from different tents, music from the likes of The Glumson Brothers and more came from the stage. There was a 5k in the morning followed by yoga in the park afterwards. It is definitely a neighborhood event that draws the best from the residents and visitors alike!
