The Blackstone Summer Block Party invites people of all ages, from Woodlawn and surrounding neighborhoods, to participate in workshops and activities, share food together, and listen to good music in a safe, inclusive, and engaging space. The focus of the event is to provide FREE resources and learning opportunities, including:

– educational workshops
– giveaway of back-to-school essentials and supplies
– back-to-school kids haircuts by professional barber Ano Bank$
– bike and helmet fittings, safety checks, and more by Blackstone Bicycle Works
– a showcase in collaboration with the Backyard Series with musicians, poets, and a performance by the all-women performers and producers of the hip-hop album, Synergy Chi, with students from their hip-hop technique summer camp

Food will be provided (hot dogs, veggie dogs, and snacks!)

Together, we want to celebrate the end of summer and the start of a new school year with local youth, families, and community members through a fun, educational, and fulfilling gathering
