The Greatest Rivalry in Marbletown

What is Color Wars?

Once a year, the streets of Marbletown divide — not by politics or friendships, but by something far more important: Route 209. Those who live north, and those who live south, compete for a full weekend of athletic glory, culinary cunning, and undeniable neighborhood bragging rights.

Only one team will reign supreme. This year's theme: Garden Party. Expect derby hats, rosé, lawn games and unhinged competition.

🏆 May the best side win — points, pride, and Pimm's on the line.

Team Green North of 209
