That's a lot of links: Chad Allen and Jason McCauley, of National Fence, install temporary fencing around McMurray Field in preparation for this weekend's Hmong Freedom Festival. The company installed -- and will take down -- about 11,000 feet of fencing. Do the math: That's more than 2 miles. |

Another Freedom Celebration Begins
|
The 37th annual Hmong International Freedom Festival returns to McMurray Field in Como Park this Saturday-Sunday, July 1-2. Festivities run 6 a.m.-9 p.m. each day. Admission is $5. During the festival:
- Temporary parking restrictions will be in place in large segments of District 10 surrounding Como Park (see the map).
- Access to District 10's organics recycling site and to the Animal Humane Society on Beulah Lane will be restricted. The only way in is fighting through traffic on Jessamine via Hamline.
- Como Park Pool is closed.
- A shuttle bus runs between the festival site and the State Fairgrounds parking lots south of Como Ave.
The festival features soccer, volleyball, flag football, tujlub, and takraw competition; cultural music and dance; and food and merchandise vendors.
About parking: During the festival, Saint Paul Police have a patrol dedicated exclusively to enforcing parking issues in the neighborhood. If you see a violation (cars parked on the wrong side of the street; blocking driveways, alleys or crosswalks; or parked too close to intersections), call the Saint Paul Police non-emergency number (651-291-1111) and request parking enforcement.
