BCNC Set for Quincy Family Fair

The Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center will hold its Family Fun Fair, a free event open to the public on June 22, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Joseph W. Koch Field at 200 Newbury Ave. in Quincy.
Marking its 10th anniversary of working with families on the South Shore, the BCNC’s fair will include games and entertainment for children and families. The afternoon event will include arts and crafts, a bouncy house, petting zoo, face painting, games and prizes, balloon animals, cultural performances, and the main event: a watermelon eating contest. Around a 1,000 people are expected to attend the event, according to BCNC.
In case of rain, the fair will be held inside the North Quincy High School at 316 Hancock St. in North Quincy.
Over the past decade, BCNC has been working with Quincy’s Asian and immigrant populations, which each make up about a third of the city. It offers youth leadership skills programs, English instruction, and mental health support services and parenting workshops. The agency was founded over a half century ago, when it was mostly focused on Boston-area residents, with a location in Chinatown.
