MUSCATINA – The Discovery Park Environmental Learning Center will host the return of the annual Community Block Party on Friday, September 9th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
As always, this event is completely free to the public and will feature more than 30 local organizations, including the Musser Public Library, the Muscatine Y, UnityPoint Health, United Way of Muscatine, Muscatine County Conservation and MCSA, offering activities and information and resources related to its services.
This will be the 12th time the Community Block Party has been held and the second since the start of the pandemic, with this year’s party featuring a mix of new activities and fun favorites. Children can enjoy hope in the event’s bounce houses and have the chance to be inside a real fire truck. Balloon animals will also be offered at the event.

Some of the new activities this year include rock painting, friendship bracelets and noodle crafts, giving all attendees the chance to take something home to help them remember their time there . On the food side, Hy-Vee will once again provide hot dogs and fries for the event, while the Salvation Army will provide bottled water. The first 400 guests will receive a ticket for a free hot dog and fries.
Beyond all the fun activities, delicious food and great music, the main focus of the Community Block Party remains the same: being the community itself and hoping to provide the community with a fun night where they can reconnect with their neighbors and maybe even make new friends
All guests will be able to park at the Discovery Center or, if that lot fills up, at the Crossroads on Houser Street. For those who park at the latter, MuscaBus will offer free service to and from Crossroads. Residents can also schedule their own MuscaBus transportation to the event by calling 563-263-8152.
