Decatur Public Library 150th Anniversary Outdoor Block Party Aug. 2nd

The Decatur Public Library is turning 150, and they want to celebrate with our community Saturday, Aug 2, 2025, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM! They invite everyone to stop by to enjoy LIVE music and FREE activities, and many of their community partners, including Scovill’s Mobile, the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois, the Children’s Museum of Illinois, the Decatur Area Arts Council, and more.

There will be crafts, bubbles, caricatures, and bounce houses. Grab a bite to eat from a local food truck or make plans to visit a downtown restaurant.

*Please note that these festivities will be held outside in the library’s greenspace and parking lot, to accommodate all the fun. The parking garage to the south will be open and does not require permits on Saturdays. Additionally, the library will be closed to allow staff time to assist in the activities and celebrate with everyone.
