Block Party Logo 2022 (2)

Save the Date! Book Harvest's 2023 Block Party will be on July 22, 2023.

Book Harvest’s annual Summer Block Party will once again fill the concourse of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park -- this time on Saturday, July 22, 2023 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The free, outdoor, community-wide event will be a joyful celebration of books and National Summer Learning Week! The afternoon will be action-packed, featuring fun-filled family activities and entertainment, and an abundance of free, culturally inclusive children’s books for every child – from infants to high schoolers – to choose their very own books to take home and keep forever!
