5th Street Social Returns in 2024
5th Street Social will not take place in 2023.

We hope you’ll enjoy all these other great events happening in Coralville in 2023! 5th Street Social will return on August 10, 2024.

Time: 4:00-10:00 pm

Celebrate family, friends, & the dog days of summer
As the days edge towards the end of summer, celebrate friends, family, and neighbors with a block party festival on 5th Street! Coralville's 5th Street Social celebrates the street dances of the 1950’s by featuring music, food, local brews, children’s activities, and a classic car show and shine.
 
This annual event began in 2016 and is held on the second Saturday in August.
