Safe Summer Kickoff 2025
 

What is Safe Summer Kickoff?  

It is the event that kicks start summer activities and employment for school aged youth from ages 5 to 18 and includes their families and parents. 
 
Youth can find jobs and programs to keep them engaged through the summer. 
There are usually about 15 to 20 programs represented.
 
The event provides fun, free food and entertainment along with information provided.  
 
The 2025 event will be bigger than ever!

In addition to the traditional Safe Summer Kickoff activities, we will also be celebrating the installation of a bike repair station, and an air pump for bikes and sports balls (basketball, soccer, and footballs).

Date:  Friday, June 6, 2025
Time:   5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (vendor set-up at 4:00 p.m.)
Place: Evelyn K. Davis Park 1400 Forest Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50314
