Next Block Party Cookout: I Am Beacon's Back 2 School Block Party

The next block party cookout at South Avenue Park above Loopers Plaza will be the annual Back 2 School Block Party on Sunday, August 22, 2026. This highly anticipated event usually coincides with a final basketball game of Beacon Hoops down at Loopers Plaza court, followed by hamburger’s and hotdogs at in the meadow of South Avenue Park, below the City of Beacon Parks and Recreation Center.

The theme is to “Stuff the Bus” with school supplies. Kids who attend come away with a free bag of school supplies while supplies last. In order to get a bag, kids must go around to the businesses and organizations who have registered for the event.

A Little Beacon Blog will be there offering free face painting at our table. Come say hi!
