Locke on the Block, a favorite fall community festival, is back for its second year. 

It is a day to celebrate Locke and our Harlem neighborhood with fun, food, and community spirit. This is a celebration designed to bring families, friends, and neighbors together.

What’s Happening

• Nonstop Fun for Kids - Bounce houses, games, crafts, and more

• Performances - An hour of music, dance, and student spotlights on stage

• Delicious Eats - Savory bites at the International Café, baked goodies at the Sweets & Treats Station, and food trucks with varying cuisines

• Community Connection - Clothing swap, family activities, and opportunities to celebrate what makes Locke special

• School Tours - You'll get to experience the Locke community all around the fair, but take a school tour to see the inside and more of what makes our school so special!

Highlights

• Locke Hour (10:30am-12noon): Exclusive early entry for Locke families with smaller crowds and shorter lines. Sensory Hour from 10:30-11:30, with a calmer start to the fair. 

• Wristbands: Unlimited play with suggested donations (learn more on the Pricing page)

• Ways to Join In: Volunteer, perform, or donate food

Join us for this favorite fall tradition. We cannot wait to see you there!
