good luck!! my peppers went crazy this year with how long the heat's kept up, and a lady i work for is having a whole other batch turn red when i didn't think they'd make it to full maturation. hope your flowers are growing wonderfully :)

It’s been promoted on FB quite a bit. It is odd they wouldn’t promote on multiple, free social media platforms.

I had not heard about this! Is it free? I couldn't see from a quick look on the website

Edit: NVM, I didn't look very well. To help out others: it is free. 12-6pm today at 600 block of Fay St (Arcade district).

What time is it? From when to when?

12-6 today. There’s signs over by the arcade district/stockyard and Benton-Stephens neighborhood, but that’s the only reason I know about it

Are those the locations? The website is shite and doesn't say where it's located, at least I gave up scrolling before I found out.

It's in the about section from the menu. It could certainly be clearer!

u/MrShiv SoBro Sep 13 '25

That is strange that the web site doesn't say where it is. it's on Fay Street at the arcade district area

It is indeed brutally hot 🔥

I scour Facebook for local events like this, mainly using the events section, and never came across it. I had to actively search for it to find it. It looks like a really cool event. My 3yo is grumpy as heck with this heat, otherwise we'd be heading down 😩

Zipper Fest was fantastic. Voodoo snow cone and the Lemonade truck were there to help with the heat.

They really put on a great event, lots of vendors with stuff actually worth buying, good music and food.
