Malibu Country Mart to Host Summer Block Party

The Malibu Country Mart will celebrate summer with a family friendly street fair in August.

The Summer Block Party starts at 2 p.m. Aug. 11, and will feature an afternoon of live music, activities, and an assortment of nostalgic treats.  The event will culminate with the last film screening from the Mart’s Summer Movies Series, according to organizers.

Activities will include a Rony’s Photo Booth, tarot card readings by Cathy Crystal, caricature portraits, and airbrush and henna tattoos. Activities for the younger set include a petting zoo, balloon art, and face painting. Multiple food vendors will be positioned around the Mart and will offer complimentary carnival treats such as cotton candy, popcorn, funnel cakes, churros, candy apples and ice cream. 

Music will be provided by Noirfancy and a live steel drum trio.

The Block Party will end with the screening of its final family-friendly film, "The Goonies." The movie will be projected onto a giant outdoor screen starting at 8:15 p.m., or about 15 minutes after sundown, near the children’s playground on the lawn.
