Silver Room's Annual Block Party

It's time again for that summer time treat, the Silver Room's Annual Block Party.  The store does a lot throughout the year to promote culture by having in-store art shows and movie screenings.  This block party is their big blowout with a main stage on the street, as well as dj's spinning in-store and on their back patio.  They also unveil a new mural next to the main stage each year.  The event is free and family friendly. This should be a lot of fun.

Here's the full line-up from their site....
