Stuyvesant Plaza, the Capital Region’s premier open-air retail destination, continues to expand its community offerings with the introduction of Summer Fridays on The Lawn and the return of its popular Lattes & Littles series. The newly unveiled turf area and hardscaped patio space, The Lawn, will be the setting for both programs, which are focused on outdoor activities for kids and adults. The series kicks off in early August.
“We are excited to expand our outdoor summer activities for kids and adults and to host these events on The Lawn, our beautiful, brand-new outdoor space,” said Stuyvesant Plaza General Manager Rachel Ferluge. “Lattes & Littles, back by popular demand after a successful introduction last year, will entertain our youngest guests as well as raise funds for The Ronald McDonald House of the Capital Region. Summer Fridays on The Lawn, our newest summer series, will offer the perfect afternoon respite for our adult guests.”
Celebrating its second summer at the Plaza, the bi-monthly Lattes & Littles series will feature rotating kid-friendly, creative activities and lite breakfast fare on The Lawn. Caregivers and children up to seven years of age are welcome to attend these one-hour programs that will be offered on alternate Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., beginning Aug. 1 through Sept. 26.
