SUMMER BLOCK PARTY!
Friday, June 19 | 4:00 - 8:00 PM
School’s out, let’s play!
Head downtown to celebrate the last day of school with us at our Summer Block Party!
We'll be shutting down Wilbur Cross Way and having some good ol' fashioned fun: Yard games, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and more!
This family-friendly event is free and open to all ages to attend.
You scream, I scream
What better way to celebrate then with some ice cream? Kids attending the Summer Block Party will receive a free ice cream* from the UConn Dairy Bar Truck, courtesy of the Mansfield Downtown Partnership!
The UConn Dairy Bar Truck will be on hand throughout the event. Everyone is welcome to purchase a sweet, cold treat!
(*one per child, while supplies last)
Let’s Play!
Try your hand at some oversized yard games during the Summer Block Party! The Mansfield Downtown Partnership has a collection of games for folks to enjoy on Betsy Paterson Square. The games are available to borrow through the Mansfield Public Library Express (find more info here). During the Summer Block Party, we will have them out for everyone to enjoy.
