Free Community Block Party in Bradford, PA During Big 30 Weekend
Free food • Live music • Magic show • Inflatables • School supplies • Fun for the whole family
One of the best parts of summer in Bradford is seeing our community come together.
Whether it’s cheering at the Big 30 Parade, catching up with old friends, or watching kids laugh until they’re exhausted, there’s something special about a town that knows how to celebrate together.
That’s exactly what Super Summer Bash’s Community Block Party is all about.
On Saturday, August 1, from Noon until 4:00 PM, Open Arms Community Church is opening its doors—and its parking lot—to everyone for a completely FREE afternoon of family fun.
If you’re looking for something to do after the Big 30 Parade, or just want to enjoy a fun afternoon with your family, we’d love to have you join us.
In Town for the Big 30 Parade?
Every year, thousands of people visit Bradford for Big 30 Weekend, and if you’re one of them, we’d love to invite you to stop by before or after the parade.
Our Community Block Party is just another way to celebrate everything that makes Bradford a great place to live—a chance for families to relax, have fun together, and enjoy an afternoon without worrying about the cost.
Everything is completely free.
There’s Something for Everyone
Whether your kids love to bounce, laugh, play, explore, or simply run around with friends, you’ll find plenty to keep everyone entertained.
Here’s just a sample of what’s waiting for you:
- Giant inflatables
- Free food
- Yard games and activities
- Door prizes
- School supply giveaways (while supplies last)
- Family-friendly entertainment
- A welcoming place to connect with neighbors and friends
You don’t need to register, and you don’t have to attend Open Arms Community Church to come.
Just show up and enjoy the afternoon.
Don’t Miss Dave Jeffers Magic
One of the highlights of the day will be an exciting performance from Dave Jeffers Magic.
Dave has been entertaining families throughout the region for decades with a high-energy blend of comedy, audience participation, and amazing illusions.
Kids will be laughing.
Parents will be wondering how he did it.
It’s one of those shows the whole family can enjoy together.
Live Music Throughout the Afternoon
We’re also excited to welcome live music from Caleb Combs and Kelsey Boudin.
Their music will provide the soundtrack for a relaxing afternoon filled with community, conversation, and celebration. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, watching your kids play, or simply enjoying the day, we hope the music helps make the afternoon even more memorable.
Helping Families Get Ready for School
As summer begins winding down, many families are already thinking about back-to-school shopping.
We’ll be giving away school supplies while supplies last, helping local families prepare for the new school year.
It’s just one small way we hope to serve our community and bless our neighbors.
More Than an Event
At Open Arms Community Church, we believe church should be more than a place people go on Sunday mornings.
We want to be a church that serves our city.
A church that creates opportunities for families to connect.
A church that’s known for generosity, hospitality, and loving our neighbors well.
Super Summer Bash is one of our favorite weekends of the year because it gives us the opportunity to do exactly that.
Whether you’ve attended Open Arms for years, have never visited before, or are simply passing through town for Big 30 Weekend, we’d love to meet you.
Come hungry.
Bring the kids.
Invite some friends.
We’ll take care of the rest.
