Booker T. Washington Block Party
August 20, 2024
Rain Date: TBD
5-7 p.m.
Celebrating the Fifth Ward Neighborhood
The Booker T. Washington Revitalization committee is proud to announce the formal dedication of the basketball courts at the Booker T. Washington Park to founding member Don Witherspoon.
​
Don saw a vision for the area that the BTW park now calls home. Without his dedication to the neighborhood, this park would not exist as we see it today. It's an honor to remember one of the people who made this park happen for everyone.
Other planned events
At the party we'll have:
-
Basketball 3-on-3
-
Free hot dogs
-
Free snow cones
-
Free popcorn
-
Bubble station
-
... and much more!
​
We need the help of volunteers and community leaders to bring these event to maximum impact. Stop on out at BTW Park on August 20!
We are asking people to keep all pets at home. There will be a lot of people attending, and this might be overwhelming to some animals.
​
Properly credentialed service animals are always welcome.
Bring your art!
We're hosting an art exhibit for the neighborhood. The prompt is simple. HOME.
What comes to mind when you see the word home? We want you to share your pieces with us.
All of our events are run by volunteers. This makes our neighborhood amazing - we're excited to get people together and to have fun together. Can you help us set up or tear down? We would appreciate it more than you know.
