On Saturday, Aug. 18, from 2 to 5 p.m., Urbana University, a branch campus of Franklin University, will host its second annual Blue Knight Block Party and Activities Fair.

This year’s student-welcome event, held on Monument Square, will feature music in Legacy Park, shopping, food, corn hole and other fun activities. All downtown merchants and local businesses are invited to participate.

To expand this year’s event, UU is combining its annual Activities Fair as part of the celebration so local businesses can show their services to UU students.
