Book Harvest’s Summer Block Party

Book Harvest’s annual Summer Block Party is a free community-wide celebration of summer and books on Saturday, July 18, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Durham Central Park.
The afternoon will be filled with family activities and entertainment, highlighted by an abundance of free culturally inclusive children’s books for every child – from infants to high schoolers – to take home and keep forever.
Plus, activities for the whole family! There will be lots to see and do with magic shows by Happy Dan the Magic Man, free poems written by the Poetry Fox, fairy hair magic, and more!
Free parking will be available throughout the area, including street and garage parking.
