“Silver Spring has so much to offer, and we want to make sure our young people aren’t forgotten,” said Councilmember Stewart, whose District 4 encompasses Silver Spring. “The goal of this event is to bring together our community and find ways to productively engage with our young people, especially those who may not have engaged with existing programming.” 

The event will include activities for young people of all ages, including a three-on-three basketball tournament (sign up here), a pop-up skate park with an instructor, mural painting, skateboard decorating and professional DJs provided by Radio One.  

This positive youth engagement event is made possible thanks to many community partners.
