Entertainment will include performances from 9 a.m. to noon, featuring Valencia opera instructor Carla DelVillaggio, who performs as “Simply Streisand”; local cabaret and jazz singer MariaOlivia; Valencia Opera Theatre Project; Valencia Dance Theatre, Fearless Leaders Step Out (Valencia step team); Sueño de Hormiga, a local Latin band; and the chorus from Hungerford Prep Elementary School.
At 11:30 a.m., members of the community are invited to form a human peace sign in the center of the park for an aerial photograph.
