Back to School Block Party
September 26, 2025
(1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.)
The upcoming Back to School Block Party, hosted by Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe, is scheduled for Friday, September 26th from 1-4PM at the BlackRock Center for the Arts.
We are planning this event in partnership with the BlackRock Center and the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce, and our goal is to create a fun, safe space for Upcounty youth where they can both hang out with each other and access resources most relevant to them.
We will have food, outdoor games, a small resource fair, student performances, and much more!
There will also be an opportunity to share your voice and earn SSL hours for advocacy.
