July PEMpm: Block Party — July 20, 2017

Oh this looks like one not to be missed! You had me at “ice cream sandwiches from Melt and Goodnight Fatty”, honestly. 😛 On July 20th from 6:00-9:00 PM head out to the July PEMpm Block Party behind the Phillips Library.

Per their Facebook event:

“Entire museum is open and free, cash bar

6pm-9pm, outdoors behind the Phillips Library (132 Essex Street)

Join us for THE block party of the summer! Jam out to the ska sounds of Bim Skala Bim Music, participate in a scavenger hunt with the Phillips Library, grab a one of a kind ice cream sandwich from Goodnight Fatty and Melt Ice Cream or a delicious burger from A&B Burgers, sip on some seasonal brews from Bent Water Brewing Company and Far From The Tree Cider in our beer garden, tour our historic homes and gardens, and so much more.”
