Weekend Picks – July 17th
Have a great weekend, Ctown!
Landry’s Bicycles is hosting a Block Party at Hood Park on Saturday
Join Landry’s Bicycles and Hood Park at a Community Block Party!
The neighborhood gathering is this Saturday, July 18th, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Hood Park. This isn’t a typical bike shop event—it’s a celebration of our community. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or someone who hasn’t ridden in years, Landry’s invites you to connect with neighbors and enjoy a fun, low-stakes day in the heart of Charlestown.
They are coordinating neighborhood “Guide Rides” from surrounding communities—real routes that locals actually use—so you can arrive at the party feeling confident and ready to celebrate. The event will feature food trucks like Bon Me and the Cookie Monstah, ice cream, local community organizations, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for meeting fellow residents.
Come for the ride, stay for the party.
