Pop-Up Parties 

The MHRA hosted our annual St. Patrick's Day party at Layfayette Park .  Complete with serenading bagpiper!  We look forward to Cinco de Mayo in May at Lafayette Park.  The MHRA provided hot Irish coffees and cold Guinness for St. Paddy's Day and Margaritas, Coronas and a Mexican food truck are on tap for Cinco de Mayo.  Residents loved getting together to sociallize with neighbors after a long winter!  Join us in 2023!

Easter Egg Hunt

TBD 2024 at Acton's Park  

​

The Murray Hill Egg Hunt is a wonderful family, fun event organized by the residents of the community. As each year passes, the event grows in popularity and offers the community a chance to come together to pull off a great event for the children. It also offers fun games such as sack races, jelly bean counting contest, egg and spoon races and a visit from a bunny!

Ice Cream Social and Art Day    

TBD June 2024 (3:00 - 5:00 @ Lafayette Park)

​

Held after school has ended on a Sunday evening, the Ice Cream Social is a great way for all the kids (and adults) in the neighborhood to come together for a quick summer kickoff. Bring out the whole family to enjoy the sundae bar, with plenty of ice cream and all the toppings, right by the water in Lafayette Park.  

​

In 2021 we added an Art Day event to coincide with the Ice Cream Social.   We plan on continuing the Art day with Bubbles, Sidewalk Chalk, and Rock Decorating.  Come out, have some fun, show your artistic talent, and have an ice cream.  What’s not to like?
