From Ward 7 Councilor Jordan T. Avery: Lynn City Councilor Jordan T. Avery is proud to announce the First Annual Ward 7 Family Fun Day, a free community event designed to bring neighbors together, strengthen community connections, and provide a fun, safe, and welcoming day for families throughout Lynn.
The event will take place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Barry Park, with a rain date of Sunday, July 19, 2026.
As a newly elected City Councilor, Avery said one of his priorities has been creating opportunities for residents to connect outside of City Hall.
“When I was growing up, neighbors knew neighbors. Kids played outside together, families looked out for one another, and there was a stronger sense of community,” said Avery. “As a newly elected City Councilor, I felt it was important to create an event that brings people together, helps neighbors get to know one another again, and provides a safe, family-friendly day right here in Ward 7. My hope is that this becomes a tradition that continues for years to come.”
Admission is free and open to all residents and families.
“This event is about bringing people together, building relationships, and reminding ourselves that strong neighborhoods create a stronger Lynn” – Councilor Avery
The free event will feature:
- Bounce Houses
- Games & Kids Activities
- Face Painting
- DJ & Music
- Food & Snacks
- Community Resources
- Dunk Tank sponsored by Cuckie’s Soft Serve Ice Cream
The Ward 7 Family Fun Day Planning Committee is currently seeking volunteers, sponsors, and donations from local businesses, organizations, and community members throughout Lynn and the North Shore to help make the event a success.
All sponsorships and donations will go directly toward event activities, supplies, entertainment, and ensuring the event remains free for families.
