Holiday Block Party
The Holiday Block Party is a free community event designed to celebrate the season with family and friends. This gathering brings the neighborhood together for an afternoon of outdoor festivities and local entertainment. It is the perfect way to kick off the holidays in a welcoming setting.
Attendees can enjoy a variety of activities including holiday themed crafts for children and diverse food truck options. Guests will have the chance to ride the Garner Express train along the scenic outdoor walking trail. Live music will play throughout the event space to keep the energy high. Santa Claus will also make a special appearance during the party to pose for photos with families.
This event is specifically tailored for families looking for an engaging and accessible local outing. The atmosphere is casual and designed to be enjoyable for all age groups. We encourage you to join your neighbors for this festive experience. Please mark your calendars and arrive early to make the most of the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you there.
