It’s the biggest back to school party in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
The third annual “End of Summer Blowout!” is set for Saturday, August 10 from 6:00 – 9:30 p.m. at Feaster Park. The End of Summer Blowout! is the City of Arkadelphia’s biggest family festival. The event features 10+ bounce houses, games, face painting, food trucks and 10-minute professional fireworks show.
New in 2024, the End of Summer Blowout! will also feature a glow in the dark foam party.
“The End of Summer Blowout! is one of our favorite days of the year,” Special Events Manager Halle Mann said. “It is such a fun family event, and it’s great to see the kids reconnect before the first day of school.”
Due to the August heat, city officials moved the start time of the event to 6 p.m. In past years, the event began at 5 p.m.
“There is nothing we can do about the August heat, but we hope moving the event forward an hour and adding activities like the foam party will help,” Mann said. “We will be offering cooling stations again this year, and the Arkadelphia Fire Department will be on scene to address any first aid concerns.”
The End of Summer Blowout! will follow the following schedule:
6:00: Event begins | Bounce houses & food trucks open
8:00: Foam party begins
8:30: Glow in the dark foam party begins
8:45: Bounce houses close
9:00: Food trucks close | Glow in the dark foam party ends
9:05: Fireworks begin
9:15: Fireworks end
9:30: Event ends
There is no admission cost for the End of Summer Blowout! More information on the End of Summer Blowout! will be announced on the city’s website, www.arkadelphia.gov/.
