Block Party
returns
The City of Florence is
hosting the 2019 Commu-
nity Block Party on Friday,
July 19, from 5:30 to 10
p.m. in Historic Old Town
Florence.
Last year’s Block Party
celebrating the 125th anni-
versary of the city’s founding
was a huge hit. Hundreds of
community members and
visitors spent an evening
with family and friends en-
joying live music, visiting
local restaurants and shops
and enjoying activities
sponsored by area business-
es, nonprofits and groups.
The 2019 Community
Block Party will encourage
the community to come
together and enjoy an
amazing evening with their
friends and family.
During the event, the city
will be celebrating its sec-
ond anniversary of being a
Coast Guard City, kicking
off the Power of Florence
on July 20, encouraging ex-
ploration of what Florence
has to offer, and celebrating
summer! The event will
provide free live music and
activities for people of all
ages.
Sponsorship and other
opportunities are available.
