WEIRDEST BLOCK PARTY at Ripley’s on Saturday, July 4 in St. Augustine, Florida! ♥️🤍💙
This Fourth of July, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! St. Augustine is throwing America’s Weirdest Block Party — a free outdoor celebration packed with live entertainment, family fun, strange history, and unbelievable moments.
In addition to America 250, Ripley’s St. Augustine is also celebrating 75 years of wonder in the nation’s oldest city.
Guests can enjoy live music, face painting, giveaways, audience trivia, family contests, and a featured performance from Captain & Maybelle. The celebration will also spotlight the grand opening of Ripley’s Mirror Maze and the return of the new and improved Red Trains, now refreshed with an updated experience and all-new storytelling.
