Packapalooza is for Everyone!

If you're not an NC State Student, you might wonder if an event to cap-off a university's welcome week festivities is for you (and your family). Luckily we've got the answer - ABSOLUTELY!

Packapalooza is the signature town-gown event on Hillsborough Street. The all-day block party and festival, which spans from Pullen Road to Brooks Avenue, has grown to feature nine different zones with activities for everyone. In addition, there are multiple performance areas throughout the venue for dance and music.

One of those zones is the Kids Zone, which is located on Horne Street during the event. Run by Live It Up! Hillsborough Street, this space is dedicated to activities and areas that are geared towards the under-18 crowd (though we're not kicking out any kids at heart).

This year, we're looking forward to bringing you:

• Chalk Art
• Caricature Drawings
• Face Painting
• Chill Space
• Arts & Crafts
• Community Mural Painting
• Photo Booth

So make your plans to join us on Saturday, Aug. 24 starting at 2pm for the biggest event of Hillsborough Street's year - we'll see you for a PACKtacular afternoon of fun!
