The event starts at 5pm and all are welcome. The Block Party activities will include live music, food, raffles, prizes, carnival games, bouncy house, face painting, a petting zoo, and a caricature artist. There is no cost to attend or to participate in the various activities.
“In honor of Thanksgiving, the Church of Scientology sponsors this party to give thanks to the local non-profits that are working to improve our community,” said event organizer Nicole Biancolini. Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. This holiday began as a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621.
The first Downtown block party was held in July 2016 celebrating the one year anniversary of the opening of the Scientology Information Center on Cleveland Street and the Humanitarian Centers on North Fort Harrison. Since then, the event has become a bi-monthly affair celebrating the seasons and community holidays.
