Pricing

At Locke on the Block, our goal is to create a joyful, welcoming community event. This is an event for the community (Locke's school community and the broader Harlem community) and not just a fundraiser. While we do not expect to fully cover our costs, we do invite families to contribute in a way that feels comfortable so that we can continue hosting this event for years to come. 

All prices are suggested donations. Please pay what you can. No one should feel excluded because of cost. If you’re able, you can also choose to sponsor another child’s wristband. Your additional contribution goes toward keeping Locke on the Block open and accessible, making it possible for us to suggest, not enforce, ticket costs.

Locke Families

• Pre-sale (week leading up to the fair): $15 per child / $30 family cap*

• Day-of: $25 per child / $40 family cap*

• Pre-sale will be available at morning dropoff the week leading up to the fair so you can by-pass the lines on the day of the fair.

External Families

Adults

• No wristbands required — entry is free for adults.

*Family Cap = No family will pay more than the cap (either $30 pre-sale or $40 day-of), no matter how many children you have.

Other Notes

• All prices are suggested donations. Cost should not be a barrier to anyone’s participation.

• The pre-sale option helps Locke families save money, commit early, and gives us a better sense of attendance.

• Sensory Hour (10:30-11:30) and Locke Access (10:30-12) are perks only for our Locke community: a smaller group, shorter lines, and a chance for Locke families to enjoy the fair before the crowds arrive.
