The Friends of Peace Pilgrim will be holding its annual Peace Pilgrim Birthday Celebration starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 20 at Peace Pilgrim Park, 500-block London Ave.
The event aims to keep alive Peace Pilgrim’s message that peace in the world is possible when everyone finds inner peace.
The rain or shine event includes outdoor yoga practice at 9 a.m. Participants will gather at 10 a.m. to take a group photo before stepping off in the 1-Mile Walk for Peace. Following the walk, the group will gather in the grove of pine trees to share Peace Pilgrim’s message of peace: “Overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.” The service includes music, words and meditation.
A potluck picnic follows at noon. Bring your own food and drinks. The friends will provide the cupcakes and sing Happy Birthday to Peace Pilgrim.
The family friendly event will include face painting and arts and crafts.
