Killarney’s Full Service Parisian Café
9am-11am, 8/30-9/4

One of the largest stops on lost Route 38 has reappeared – Killarney’s Full Service Parisian Café, Taxidermy and Truck stop. Come in every morning for a self-serve cup of your traditional, greasy spoon diner coffee. It’s self-serve, so our salty wait staff has nothing better to do than check your vaccine cards and make sure you wear a mask when not seated. We care about your caffeination and your safety, too!
Photography allowed? Yes, with permission of any participants who will be in the photos.
COVID-19 Precautions: Vaccines are required to enter the café space. Social distancing has been accounted for in table placement. Masks are required whenever patrons are not seated at their own table, and staff will have a mask full time plus spares on hand.

Open from 3-6pm daily (except Wednesday!) serving homemade handpies, with locally sourced fillings both sweet and savory. Gluten Free jam-dot cookies and vegan pies are provided as options for those who can’t indulge in our all-butter crust. Vaccinated? On days it is open, you are welcome to enjoy your pie in our backyard café space! (Bring your ID and proof of vaccination.)

The Golden Hours Project is a space of self expression, in memory of the people & things lost during this pandemic. We invite you to write on a leaf those things that you miss or names people you have lost. Read what others have written, approach the space from different sides & slowly move through it. See the leaves rustle in the wind, day and night. We offer a place to have loss be seen & shared, plus offer love & hope through that expression. This art has changed recently. Come see the new aspects! Created by our community. Designed & hosted by Jeny & Brian Bird.

Run! Jump! Duck! Welcome to Optical Course, the greatest, and most difficult, laser obstacle course you’ve ever seen. Brought to you by Jalove, a thirteen-year-old life-long burner, and Nacho Bracken, her father. This narrow, 3.3-foot-wide, 32-foot-long pathway is packed with lasers… break even one beam, and you will face excruciating pain as you’ve never felt before… Just kidding. At least two modes of play: Cowardly (a.k.a. Easy) and Doomed (a.k.a. Hard). You MIGHT survive Cowardly mode but your victory will be tainted by your unwillingness to play the REAL way. The real way is, well, to put it in a word, impossible. The Star of Death, climax of Optical Course, will surely fell you. But good luck. This is Optical Course, and you are doomed to fail.
