The City of Newport News is partnering with Provost Construction and the WINDSdays clean energy campaign to celebrate the exciting growth of The Yard District! Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 3 – 7 p.m. at The Yard District Block Party on 23rd Street. Enjoy live music from popular local band Brasswind, along with a special dedication of the city’s new kinetic wind art sculpture, Fluidity, by U.K. artist Will Carr.
The event features a variety of free activities, including axe throwing and yard games such as corn hole, giant Connect 4, Jenga, and checkers, along with free popcorn and fan-tastic giveaways (while supplies last). Food and drink vendors will have items available for purchase.
