The Uptown Block Party is bigger and better than ever! Visit tons of booths offering different play based activities, take part in stage activities and event Touch-a-Truck! Why drive when you can ride? Ride your bike to Uptown Normal and have your children participate in the Bike Rodeo (don't forget your closed toe shoes if you want to participate). Bicycle parking will be provided. Too far to ride? Loaner bikes will also be available. Bike helmets will be given away, but get there early - it's only while supplies last. Don't forget to visit Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid's bubble booth too! Follow the bubbles on Beautfort St. to find us!
