In our 6th year of this annual spring tradition, we invite you to join us in celebration of the Block Party for Kirkbride 2022! This family-friendly event will feature children's games & prizes, delicious family meals, raffle items, and a silent auction.
Support from our previous events directly led to the completion of phase 1 of our playground project in Summer 2018, and now the DESIGN PHASE with the Community Design Collaborative which will include a soccer pitch. The Block Party is an essential fundraiser to help us bring our design to life!
Tickets for our families are $10. Ticket for community members are $25 in advance online and $35 at the door. We also welcome you to sponsor a Kirkbride teacher to attend for $25.
