QUINCY — The city has announced its annual 70s, 80s and 90s Dance Party will take place August 15, giving residents an early look at one of the summer's marquee community events, while the Quincy Public Library rolled out a full slate of children's and teen programming for the week.
TOWN HALL
The City of Quincy announced its Annual 70s, 80s and 90s Dance Party will be held August 15, according to a News Flash post on the city's website. The announcement gave no further logistical details, though the city has hosted the decades-themed dance event in past summers as a community gathering draw.
Separately, the city is continuing to collect family photo submissions for its Annual Candlelight Vigil Memorial video, an ongoing project first announced in mid-July. City Hall also flagged an elevator outage notice for visitors to the building, and the Department of Public Works' Spring/Summer Infoletter remains available for residents seeking seasonal service updates.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Quincy Public Library's calendar this week is anchored by children's and family programming. Baby Time, a storytime session for infants through preschoolers, runs from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, July 29, with registration required. The library's Lego Club for tweens (grades 5-8) meets the same day from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m., and its ongoing Teen Take & Make kit, "Duck in a Pond," remains available for pickup through July 31 for teens in grades nine through 12.
