Long recognized as the kickoff to summer in Cape Elizabeth, the Family Fun Day is scheduled for Saturday, June 16, from 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m., at Fort Williams Park.

The event provides resident, nonprofit groups a chance to raise funds for their organizations in a relaxed atmosphere.

The planning committee is working to expanding the parade and the children’s games as well as the daytime entertainment, activities that have been some of the most popular.
