This year’s South Lake Union Block Party is shaping to be the best yet, and we’re proud to announce this year’s musical lineup. The jam-packed schedule includes:
o Hey Marseilles
o Ayron Jones And The Way
o Eldridge Gravy & The Court Supreme
o Evening Bell
o Bread & Butter
FOOD: Come hungry and ready to sample South Lake Union’s epicurean delights:
o Beer Garden! Pair your local tunes with local brews at the Block Party beer garden, overlooking the main stage. There will also be lawn games for all to enjoy.
o Food Trucks! Local food trucks will be at the Block Party all day, serving both lunch and dinner along Westlake Avenue.
ART: The South Lake Union Block Party and the School of Visual Concepts are once again rolling out both hands-on and feet-out-of-the-way poster-making:
o Print Your Own Free Poster! Write a cool headline, set it with antique wood type, pick out the perfect illustration, and print them to make a letterpress poster for free.
o Letterpress Steamroller Smackdown! Watch teams of design pros from all over the city compete as they print oversized posters with a 5-ton steamroller instead of a printing press.
COMMUNITY: The South Lake Union Block Party is the largest festival focused on celebrating and showcasing our neighborhood with:
o Community Booths: This year’s Community Village will feature more than 60 businesses and organizations in the area, between noon and 6 p.m.
o Local Beneficiary: Proceeds from the Block Party benefit local organizations doing important work in the community. This year’s event, which is co-sponsored by Amazon.com, will benefit Mary’s Place. The local organization empowers homeless women, children, and families to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope in a safe community.
