The A-Town Throw Down 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament was played on the basketball courts by the Port of Arlington Marina. The Port of Arlington resurfaced the courts in 2022. Dozens of spectators lounged in the grass and took in the leisurely afternoon.

Krebs, who is on the board of directors at the Port of Arlington, said that total teams were slightly down from last year but that was to be expected with wildfires in the area.
