The first Annual 6th Street Block Party is happening Saturday at Festival Square and will have live entertainment, a kid’s zone, beer gardens, food trucks and a market, and better yet, the event is free to attend.Â
There is also going to be a Downtown Poker Run, where participants can go to 28 downtown participating shops and collect their best poker hand. There will be a tent in front of The Sill & Soil to pick up a poker run map and the poker hand needs to be dropped back off by 4 p.m.Â
The kid’s and community zone will have bouncy castles, games, a magician, princesses and superheroes and there will also be a chance to learn about some of the local non-profits in the area as well as a chance to meet and adopt some dogs looking for their ‘furever’ home. Â
The beer garden will showcase some of the local brews from right here in Lethbridge including Spectrum Ale Works and Theoretically Brewing Co. Bourbon & Butter will also be on hand to mix up some of their famous cocktails.Â
The 6th Street Block Party is happening Saturday, September 16 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Festival Square, where 6th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue will be closed as well as 3rd Avenue between 5th and 7th Street. Â
