Summer Block Party

East Row Block Party

Saturday, June 22.  The 600 block of Monroe St will host the annual East Row Block Party from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.

"Block Party" has become something of an understatement, as this event has evolved from a handful of neighbors gathering and grilling, to what is certainly among the tri-state's best community-driven events. With hundreds in attendance beneath a canopy of lights, neighbors gather to contribute their collective talents for a mem

orable evening of food, fun and live music.  – I think the line up is 8 Bands this year!!!

We will have the same delicious BBQ as in years past for everyone. We just ask that you bring a side dish to share along with some chairs and your own beverages. Jeff Richardson of Overton St. and Joe Webb of Lexington Ave. will provide the cornerstone entrée of authentic Carolina barbeque, slow-smoked over night prior to the party and served with a selection of sauces from their familys’ recipes.  

The event is BYOB, with most folks bringing coolers as well as folding chairs and tables, or blankets to create their own sitting and dining areas. The North end of the block will offer a wonderful play zone for kids of all ages and including a Bounce House for the kiddos.


Live music has always been the centerpiece of the Block Party and this year's lineup promises to be one of the best yet.  The East Row is home to many of the area's leading bands and recording artists.  The covered, lighted stage will host an array of blues, jazz, world, alternative, and original rock performed by neighborhood residents and East Row-based bands.  

The East Row Block Party is among the many reasons that this neighborhood is extraordinary and it provides a great opportunity to invite friends to come and experience this special place.  The fun begins at 5:00 pm on Monroe St. between 6th and 7th.  We hope to see you on Saturday, June 22nd.
