ATLANTIC CITY - Stockton University and the City of Atlantic City will host their second annual Community Day Clean up and Party in the Park 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 22 (rain date April 23).
Last year's inaugural event was a huge success with more than 500 volunteers, representing more than 80 community groups and organizations, collecting more than 360 bags of trash at various locations throughout Atlantic City.
This year, nearly 600 volunteers will work from 8:30 a.m. to noon at nine cleanup sites on the beach and throughout all six of the city's Wards. Then after the cleanup, all the volunteers are welcome to return for the Party in the Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at O'Donnell Park near Stockton's Atlantic City campus.
The Party in the Park will feature 56 different vendors and community organizations along with a DJ and live band, food trucks, outdoor games, face painting, magic show and more. There will also be an artist and crafters village.
New this year is the Little Library Project an initiative of the Atlantic City Free Public Library in collaboration with other partners. The project will bring books closer to local neighborhoods by installing little libraries in public parks and other locations around the city. The inaugural location is O'Donnell Park, and a ribbon-cutting will happen at noon.
