New Castle Summer Kickoff Weekend Showcases Events
New Castle hosted a series of summer kickoff events across Cascade Park and Riverwalk Park over the weekend. The lineup included a Juneteenth celebration, a three team bocce tournament, the first Summer Concert Live featuring The Wait, and the Color Fun and Run promoting Pride Month. Organizers included New Visions of Lawrence County and Feola Entertainment with local officials aiding improvements to the bocce courts. The Color Run drew LGBTQ community support with emcees from the New Castle Playhouse and messages of inclusion, while the Hoyt hosted a regional art competition reception and a juried show continuing through July 25.
