ANNOUNCEMENT: The Yuma Block Party store is CLOSED, but you can pick up your orders at the event and purchase additional items, subject to stock on hand!


It has been almost 10 years since the last Geocaching Block Party, hosted by Geocaching HQ, in quirky Fremont, WA.  With the 25th anniversary of geocaching, we invite you to join us as we celebrate, take a stroll down memory lane, and thank GCHQ for all they do for us. 

The main event takes place on Sunday, February 2, 2025, from 8am to 2pm, but the fun lasts all week.  Any down time can be spent finding some of Yuma’s amazing geocaches.  Even in the winter, you can count on warm, dry weather for perfect geocaching conditions!

Visit our Website for additional details as they become available.
