Clarksville, TN – Are you looking for something fun to do this summer? Trying to find ways to beat the summertime blues and boredom for youth and teens this year?
The City of Clarksville Parks and Recreation will be offering free food and summer fun for youth in the Clarksville community with the Mayor’s Summer Night Lights program.
The Clarksville Mayor’s Summer Night Lights program creates a fun and exciting atmosphere that offers youth and teens a positive way to spend their time during the summer months.
“I am so proud of the Mayor’s Summer Night Lights program. We always have a great time because there are so many activities for kids of all ages to participate in,” said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan. “Our Parks and Recreation team does a wonderful job with the program and I want to thank them and the volunteers who make this program so special and successful.”
The fourth season of the Mayor’s Summer Night Lights program will kick off Monday, June 6th at the Kleeman Center with 5-on-5 Basketball Tournaments for those ages 14 and older. Anyone wishing to participate in these tournaments must be at the location no later than 5:45pm to sign up.
The season will continue featuring a multitude of activities including a DJ, dance team competitions, local music artist performances, arts & crafts, athletic competitions, and even free food! A meal is provided free of charge by Manna Café each night of the program. There will also be a step show featuring fraternities and sororities from Austin Peay State University.
