Local Talent Sought for Summer Block Party
Surrey’s Social Tavern has announced an open call for performers to participate in the upcoming Fleetwood’s Got Talent contest, aiming to discover standout acts for its highly anticipated second annual Block Party.

The event is designed to bring together friends, families, and neighbors for an afternoon of entertainment, food, and community spirit. Organizers hope to make this year’s celebration even more memorable by featuring diverse acts discovered through the talent contest.
