Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 345
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Thank you for all the support and excitement about Porchfest! I’ve read every text, email, comment, and survey response. Your feedback was loud and clear: let’s do it. So, I’m officially starting to plan Historic Norcross’ very first Porchfest. If you’re interested in hosting, performing, volunteering, or just want to be in the loop, hold tight. I’ll be sharing more soon! If you haven’t already completed the survey, you’re still welcome to provide your feedback!
P.S. The Summer Concert Series schedule is out (and a few new bands are joining the lineup)!
PHOTO OF THE WEEK
Tiny dino on the loose in Norcross! Easy to miss, hard to forget. (I snapped this one!)

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Celebrate Japan’s Children’s Day Festival
Children’s Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no Hi) is a joyful Japanese holiday that celebrates the health, happiness, and growth of children. It’s a time when families display colorful koinobori (carp streamers), enjoy special treats, and honor childhood and family bonds. On Sunday, May 4, from 11a-4p at Thrasher Park, the community is invited to experience this tradition at a free, family-friendly festival featuring live performances, cultural activities, food, crafts, and games. An optional $15 Kids Pass includes bounce houses, kingyo scooping, and access to a hands-on crafting pavilion.
