Gene Kleiner Day

Please join us as we pay tribute to the extraordinary generosity of Gene Kleiner, who donated Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park to the City of Meridian and its residents. The donation was in honor of his late father who once farmed the land on which this park now sits.  Come help us thank Gene Kleiner for his remarkable gift which has become an active, and loved, space in the Treasure Valley.

A free concert performed by the Meridian Symphony Orchestra in the Kleiner Park Band Shell begins 7:00 pm. The performance includes several popular pieces that are sure to delight audience members of all ages.

Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs or lawn blankets for seating and are welcome to bring picnics. The park’s concession stand will also be open for business to provide snacks and beverages.
