The Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve will host its annual block party, featuring local organizations with hands-on activities for kids and information about what they are doing to protect our natural resources.

Activities include games, arts and crafts, science experiments, netting in the bay, face painting and a touch tank full of critters from the bay.

Attendees may bring a picnic. Complimentary watermelon and ice cream will be served.
