First Friday block party

September 15, 2025

On Friday, September 5th, both Washington College students and Chestertown residents came together for the First Friday Block Party downtown and by the waterfront from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event was a great way for students and staff to celebrate the official start of the new academic year. There were games, food trucks, stands from local restaurants, singers, and a buffet by the waterfront for WC students.
