2025 Summer Block Party: Know Before You Go

We are just days away from the best part of the summer—Book Harvest’s 5th annual Block Party! Here are some final reminders as you prepare to meet us on the concourse of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Saturday.

Parking

Free parking will be available throughout the American Tobacco Campus, including street and garage parking. If there is someone at the parking deck entrance, just tell them you're there for the Block Party and you'll be good to go!

Cost

This celebration is completely free to attend—and that includes all books, activities, games, and giveaways!

Food

Fuel up with free popcorn and cookies while you explore the party (while supplies last)! Plus, the Durham Bulls food stand will be open with tasty treats available for purchase if you’re still hungry for more.

Weather

Never fear—we’re ready to party, rain or shine! The concourse provides shelter from the elements and we will have hand fans to keep you cool!

Remember: There will be lots to see and do, so please stick with your crew! See you this Saturday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM!
