"Slide the City" This Year: June 25 (sign up)

Slide the City is an international endeavor to bring giant "slip and slide" style events to cities across the world. They picked Prospect Street in New Haven, CT.

At the present time, Early Bird registration for $25 is already sold out. Regular registration is $30, Late registration is $35, and so forth. Check out their site and sign up already. It's $45 on the day of the event.

"Summer time is upon us, and we are bringing a record-breaking water slide to brighten your city streets. Come dressed to impress because it’s not every day you can strut through town with your hot bod, cool dance moves and slick slides. Did we mention it's the world record ? Yeah, it's that long.
Usain Bolt will be green with envy once he sees how fast you can cover that much ground. Oh and in case you were wondering, our slide was made right here in the good ole US of A and travels with us throughout the country. We like to think of ourselves as carney workers, without the mullets and the missing teeth. Slide the City is a family friendly slip-and-slide water party event. There will be live music, food, drinks, water, and of course the biggest slip and slide ever to hit asphalt. Don’t worry, we’ve got it padded.This slide’s got more cushion than your grandpa’s orthopedic sneakers."
