Scavenger Hunt
The fun behind Founders’ Day is celebrating our community’s roots and the Founders’ Day Committee has decided to emphasize this by creating an event-wide Bridgeport History Scavenger Hunt. This year, you don’t need to go around the community to complete this challenge; you can stay right at Borough Hall all day to keep enjoying the fun!
How Does it Work?
During the event, participants can pick up their free scavenger hunt card from the Information Booth at the 4th Street entrance to the event. This card will host a variety of businesses with booths at the event. If participants get each business to hole punch their space, they can bring the completed card to the Information Booth to be entered to win a prize!
Thank you to the local establishments participating in our 2024 community-wide scavenger hunt:
