Downtown Swanton came alive Saturday evening as hundreds gathered for the Swanton Chamber Block Party, the first in a series of four summer events bringing food, music, and family fun to the heart of the village.
Now in its third year, the block party has continued to grow, drawing large crowds and attracting more local involvement.
The event, held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., featured live music from Shane Piasecki and offered a mix of entertainment for all ages.
This year, the Swanton Public Library joined the festivities with games and activities, while kids enjoyed a bounce house sponsored by Sky Heating and Cooling of Swanton. The Swanton Area Community Coalition added some flair by offering hair tinsel for children.
Food options were abundant, with attendees able to choose from three food trucks, Hot Dogs To Go, Benny Loncheria, and Cheat Day Food Truck, while Tano’s Pizza sold slices just down the street.
The Spot also participated with a limited menu, serving ice cream, Red Bull refreshers, and nonalcoholic dirty sodas.
Thanks to continued support from local partners like Benfield Wines and Hubs, and the village’s establishment of a DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) a few years ago, the event has grown into a vibrant summer tradition for the community.
