​How to Participate in Wonder Week

 ​

Wonder Week is August 23-29. This celebrates the installation of 20 'Wonder Boxes' to the neighborhood. In addition to books, you might find toys, mugs, photos, plants and other fun surprises. Use the Wonder Walk Map to explore where they are.

 

You are welcome to add to Wonder Week. Each day has a prompt for ways to participate. 

 

8/23 Saturday: Swap + Share
A day to set out a “free box” or table with things to share—plants, books, toys, crafts, etc. Great for low-key community exchange.

​

8/24 Sunday: Soundtrack Sunday + Activity at Snookies
Know how to play an instrument? Give a spontaneous live performance! Play music from your porch or windows. Make a magnet for the magnet exchange at Snookies 4-7 PM.

​

8/25 Monday: Chalk the Walk
Leave encouraging messages and art on the sidewalk with chalk. 

​

8/26 Tuesday: Flashlight Night
At sunset, take a twinkly twilight walk with flashlights, lanterns, or glow sticks. Decorate your yard with lights to add some extra glow.

​

8/27 Wednesday: Window Wonders
Decorate your windows with paper art, signs, or lights. Great for kids to make cutouts, rainbows, or encouraging messages.

​

8/28 Thursday: Porch Picnic
Eat a meal on the porch or front yard. Wave to neighbors, play music, and enjoy the last days of summer together.

​

8/29 Friday: Costume Stroll
Dress up in silly costumes while taking a stroll. Dogs can join the fun too.
