Thursday Night on the Square

Do you have plans this Thursday night? Try out the City of Palmdale's Thursday Night on the Square activities. The fun begins at 5:30 p.m. at Ponticlan Square (9th Street East between Avenue Q-9 and Q-10). Each week, the city has a new theme for the activities. This week (7/24), the theme is "Passport to the World". When you arrive at Thursday Night on the Square, stake out a piece of real estate on the lawn with a blanket and some beach chairs. As you settle into your spot, enjoy live music and dancing. You can bring a picnic dinner along or you can purchase something from the available vendors. The amount of free activities for children at this event is substantial. Kiddos can bounce in a bounce house, listen to a story, get their face painted, watch a puppet show, and participate in crafts related to the week's theme. For the theme "Passport to the World", the crafts include making spanish maracas, a Chinese dragoo puppet, an Egyptian pyramid and adding their handprint to the “Hands on the Globe” banner. This positive community event bring high desert dwellers together to celebrate the summer and enjoy our beautiful summer evenings.
