"This will be a day of community, great food and good times that you won't want to miss out on," Smith and his team said in an email.
They ask that people not bring dogs and remember to bring solid footwear.
The music will be from Steve Kalling's The Absent Wilson Conspiracy and the food truck will be Himalayan Rockies. Cool Earth Creamery will be on hand with their gelato.
