The Blackstone Library is bringing mini golf back to Branford! On Saturday, April 29 and Sunday, April 30, the library will be transformed into an 18-hole mini golf course. Holes will weave throughout the library, covering all three floors. Each of the mini golf holes will be decorated by a local business or individual.

The entire family can come out and play on Saturday, April 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, April 30 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person and include golf putter (available in different sizes) and golf ball.

Families will enjoy seeing the variety of obstacles and decorations at each hole, and experience the thrill of the 18th hole, which travels down the stairs, going from one floor to another.

On Saturday night, April 29, once the kids have gone home, grown-ups can come and play. At 7 p.m., Mini Golf: After Hours begins, which will feature a whiskey and wine tasting (plus beer and other spirits), sponsored by Branford Wine & Liquor, in addition to the opportunity to play the course and enjoy snacks and a silent auction. Tickets are $30 per person.

Tickets are on sale now at blackstonelibrary.org or in person at the library. Tickets for the event will be available at the door. No physical tickets will be issued. Registrant/attendee names for pre-orders will be on a list at the door.

Interested in helping support the event? Event sponsorships is still available. The library is also accepting donations to its silent auction and is looking for volunteers to help staff the event.
