BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — Students in Bloomsburg are gearing up for the return of block party.
The unsanctioned event is not part of Bloomsburg University.
Seniors we spoke with say it's an exciting way to end the year.
"We've been waiting for this all year. It's been real cold and slow around here. Picking things up and getting right back at it," said Jake Roytman, Bloomsburg University senior.
"I'm just excited to get out here, be out here, stay out here. We're just going to have a good time. Block party 2023," said Kevin Cunningham, Bloomsburg University senior.
Safety is on the minds of officials in Bloomsburg, with parking restrictions in place and about 100 officers to patrol the town.
Bloomsburg University will be holding "Husky Fest" as an alternative event to block party in the Kehr Student Union Ballroom. The event is open to all students and will have music, lawn games, food, and more.
The university is also temporarily restricting guests in residence halls to one visitor per student beginning Friday, April 21, through the afternoon of Sunday, April 23.
