SLU Block Party 2018

Get ready for the 14th Annual South Lake Union Block Party!

This summer’s block party is going to be bigger and better than ever, with feature performances by amazing local bands throughout the day including: Built To Spill (headliner), Deep Sea Diver, Down North, Acid Tongue, and The Gods Themselves.

Other signature events programmed are the School of Visual Concepts’ “Steamroller Smackdown,” an old-school printing press competition.  Enjoy plenty of local eats, a beer garden, and plenty of fun activities.  And do it all to benefit Plymouth Housing Group, an organization that works to eliminate homelessness and address its causes by preserving, developing and operating safe, quality, supportive housing and by providing homeless adults with opportunities to stabilize and improve their lives.

Other event information can be found at www.slublockparty.com.

Hope to see you all on Friday, August 10!
