On Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Verrado is throwing a giant House Party to celebrate the opening of the newest phase of the Heritage District. The event, which is free and open to the public, hosts live music in the new parks, local food trucks, plenty of kids’ activities and giveaways. Plus, to keep cool, children can bring swimsuits and towels for the water slides and Slip-N-Slides. Trolleys will transport families around to enjoy all of the activities and visit the parks (like the sports park, swim park and dog park) and new homes built by Meritage Homes, Maracay Homes, Mattamy Homes and Lennar. www.verrado.com.
