2025 Welcome Back Block Party

Kick Off the Semester, Emporia Style!
Welcome back ESU and FHTC students! Join us for a fun night out on Monday, August 18th from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm in the 600 & 700 Blocks of Commercial Street. Students do not need tickets to attend - just show up! There will be music, prizes and information on student organizations and local businesses and groups!
Each participating business will be donating a door prize of at least $20! Students are encouraged to stop by the Emporia Main Street Tent in the intersection on 7th Ave to sign up for prizes- We are NOT doing passports but doing an electronic sign in! We will draw for prizes the following day via the Emporia Main Street Facebook Live. Winners will need to pick up their prize at the Emporia Main Street Office.

To sign up for a booth you must be an Emporia Main Street Member or a student organization from Flint Hills Technical College or Emporia State University.
