Running with Riptide is now Reading Around the Bases!​​ We're turning the Downtown Festival Park into a family fair for one afternoon! Booths will have all of your favorite fair games, challenges and prizes, and you might even learn along the way! Follow the "bases" from simple math problems, literacy basics, and more to get a home run and win a prize! Get your face painted and test your batting at our T-ball station! For families.

Registration is not required but recommended to receive updates, including inclement weather updates. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors to Morgan Memorial Library. Follow Suffolk Public Library's Facebook page for the latest information.
