We are delighted to announce our 2026 calendar of events!
We’ve got a fantastic line-up of musicians playing at the tower monthly from June to October, including two bands led by neighbors.
Back by popular demand: another flea market in September.
And — new this year: monthly play days, when we’ll block the road around the tower for biking, scooting, chalk art, lawn games, picnics, you name it!
See below for the full calendar. If you’d like to subscribe to the Roland Water Tower events calendar, do so HERE.
Want to help make these happen? Volunteer by emailing FriendsRolandWaterTower@gmail.com or donate at bit.ly/FriendsRWT. Volunteering is a great way to get to know your neighbors!
