East Broadway will be transformed into the biggest block party of the summer when Slide the City arrives on July 30. Adventure-seekers can slip and splash down the thousand-foot water slide. As event organizers begin their second national tour, they expect 2016 to be bigger and better than ever.
“This unique event was a huge success last year, but for 2016 we are going to be adding some fun entertainment to give it more of a community feel,” said John Malfatto, Slide the City co-owner. “We are also excited to bring the event to many new locations including Lubbock.”
This massive event is better than the average block party. Families, friends and neighbors are invited to take a break from the heat, speeding through three city blocks on inner tubes. Along with the one-of-a-kind slide, the block party will include food, music, local vendors and street entertainers.
Sliding starts at 9 a.m. Online registration opens Wednesday May 11 at https://www.slidethecity.com/location/lubbock/ Participants can purchase a single, triple, ultimate or all day slider pass during a selected wave time and are encouraged to sign up before May 27 to take advantage of the current rate. Pricing starts at $10.
All those over 5 years of age and 46 inches tall are welcome to slide! Visit the Slide the City Facebook page to see what fans have to say https://www.facebook.com/slidethecity
