Dear Jazz,

In August, it’s natural to begin to think about going back to school and the end of summer. However, we are not slowing down yet, and are far from finished! On August 19^th, the Queen City Street Fair returns to Plainfield by popular demand! This time, it’s bigger and better, with rides and fun for the entire family. If you missed the first, this one is the one you won’t want to miss. We’ll have delicious food options offered by over a dozen food vendors. Come prepared to climb a rock wall, ride a mechanical bull, get turned upside down in the tumbleweed ride, and get a little dizzy in the tubs of fun as we enjoy music by our three (3) DJs! We’ll bring back the ever-popular bouncy houses and the carnival-style games, offering everyone a chance to win fabulous prizes and limited-edition Love Plainfield branded giveaways. We can’t forget the beer garden hosted by Plainfield’s Mamajuana’s Restaurant. Join the City of Plainfield for an end of Summer Block Party. All roads will lead to Gavett Place and North Avenue on August 19th from 4:00-10:00 PM.

And, of course, you CANNOT miss our Special Day with the Somerset Patriots! On Sunday, August 27th, Love Plainfield will partner with the Somerset Patriots to honor the Negro Leagues as the Patriots play as the New York Black Yankees! This will be the inaugural game of this annual event. A discounted Ticket Rate of $10 has been established for residents of Plainfield. Bring the entire family out to the Ball Game and enjoy an exciting day of historic baseball! (Buy your tickets here before we sell out!)

And there is much more! Parks and Recreation, the Plainfield Performing Arts Center, and the Plainfield Public Library are just some of the organizations planning various events and programs for our city. From Music in the Plaza to the Queen City Project and a Teen Escape Room, there is no shortage of fun to be had in the Queen City. Please read through this weekly events newsletter and check out our city website calendar and social media to ensure you are updated with everything happening in our city.

En agosto es natural empezar a pensar en la vuelta al cole y el final del verano. Sin embargo, no estamos disminuyendo la velocidad todavía, ¡y estamos lejos de terminar! ¡El 19 de agosto, Queen City Street Fair regresa a Plainfield por demanda popular! Esta vez, es más grande y mejor, con paseos y diversión para toda la familia. Si te perdiste el primero, este es el que no querrás perderte. Tendremos deliciosas opciones de comida ofrecidas por más de una docena de vendedores de comida. ¡Venga preparado para escalar una pared de roca, montar un toro mecánico, ponerse boca abajo en el paseo de plantas rodadoras y marearse un poco en las tinas de diversión mientras disfrutamos de la música de nuestros tres (3) DJ! Traeremos de vuelta las siempre populares casas inflables y los juegos estilo carnaval, ofreciendo a todos la oportunidad de ganar fabulosos premios y obsequios de edición limitada con la marca Love Plainfield. No podemos olvidar la cervecería al aire libre organizada por el restaurante Mamajuana de Plainfield. Únase a la ciudad de Plainfield para una fiesta de fin de verano.

#AmoPlainfield #LovePlainfield

What A Night In The Queen City! The evening started off with members of the City Council and Administration driving to multiple parks throughout Plainfield to hand out school supplies. Boys and girl of all ages went home happy and excited to start of the school year with their brand new bookbags.

Then, Black Lives Matter Plaza was buzzing with excitement as residents of all ages from all over the city came together to enjoy hot dogs prepared by Plainfield Police Officers, giveaways and resource information from multiple city departments, face painting, balloon artists, and much more! There were even special performances and presentations by the 40 Plus Double Dutch Club, the Senior Center Step Team, and the Queen City Mentoring Academy. There was something for everyone - including a car and bike show!

In attendance were City Council President Charles McRae, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, County Commissioner Rebecca Williams, City Council Vice-President Terri Briggs-Jones, Councilman Barry Goode, Councilman Robert Graham, Councilman Richard Wyatt, Economic Development Director Zenobia Fields, Police Department Director James Abney, and many more city officials.

The legacy of National Night Out in our city runs deep, as many of the parents attending recalled coming to this same event when they were Plainfield students. We look forward to the continued success of this event for many generations to come as we continue to strengthen the bond between our community and our police force.
