About
Join Book Harvest and friends as we celebrate books, community, and Summer Learning Week! 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 a lot to see and do, including 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. Learn more about volunteer opportunities for this event here.
