Councilman Hollander Hosts 18th Annual Back To School Block Party For The Ninth District

With a new school year underway, Metro Council District 9 is once again inviting children and their parents to enjoy healthy exercise and fun by hosting the 18th Annual Back to School Block Party on Friday, September 8th.

“This a great event and over the years it has been a fun way to bring summer to a close and keep everyone motivated to enjoy the beginning of a new school year,” says Councilman Bill Hollander.

The Back to School Block Party will be held at the Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center, 201 Reservoir Avenue from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

The event offers FREE swimming, pizza, and door prizes.  The food and refreshments will be available until they run out.

Parents will also have a chance to get a free child ID kit made by Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD).  LMPD officers of the Fifth Division have been partners in this event for many years as a way of interacting with children and families.

​The Councilman also thanks the following sponsors who have already committed door prizes: A Reader’s Corner, Blue Dog Bakery, Carmichael’s Bookstore, Comfy Cow, Crescent Hill Trading Company, Heine Brothers’ Coffee, Just Creations, Margaret’s Consignments, McDonalds, Metro Parks, North End Café and Red Hog Butcher.
