On May 1, Ballard Commons Park will be home to “BURP” a new day-long community event sponsored by the Ballard Chamber of Commerce. BURP is short for Ballard Urban Picnic.

Mobile food wagons such as Skillet, Parfait Ice Cream, Anita’s Crepes, Veraci Pizza and Dante’s Inferno Dogs will converge on the park for the noon event and there will be live music throughout the day. Ballard’s own Maritime Pacific Brewing Company will provide beer for the beer garden, which proceeds go to the Ballard Food Bank. In the evening, there will be a free outdoor movie (movie selection is TBA.) The event is scheduled to end at 9 p.m.

The Chamber is looking for volunteers for this new community event. Here is more information if you’d like to volunteer.
