Midtown Plaza celebrated its grand opening in 2019. What began as an anniversary party to honor opening day has now evolved into a larger celebration to kick off the summer season with special events and activities. This event is free and open to the public.
The city thanks Metronet for sponsoring this year’s Midtown Block Party.
