“Buckets and Beats: The Silver Spring Youth Block Party is one of my favorite events of the year, because it brings our community together and showcases County resources, services and opportunities available to our young people, from mental health services to recreation and enrichment programs,” said Councilmember Stewart, who represents Silver Spring. “Students will also be able to compete in basketball tournaments, learn how to skateboard, win prizes and lean into their creative side.”
“I’m grateful to our public and private partners for making this celebration possible once again this year and giving young people in and around Downtown Silver Spring an engaging, fun and safe event on an early dismissal day,” Stewart continued.
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) will have an early release day on Sept. 18 and middle and high school students are invited to attend the youth block party following early dismissal.
The basketball tournament will be hosted by Montgomery County Recreation. MCPS students ages 12 and above can sign up now to participate in the basketball tournament and skateboarding activity.
