Presented in partnership with Westgate Neighbors Association and Hilltop Arts Collective, Rock The Block is a neighborhood celebration of local music, art, and community throughout Westgate! We are grateful to be sponsored by Embark Real Estate Group.

Inspired by the spirit of Play Music on the Porch Day, Rock The Block transforms front porches, yards, and community spaces into stages and galleries where neighbors can share their talents and connect with one another. This year, we’re excited to partner with the Hilltop Arts Collective to bring even more creativity and community engagement to the event.

Explore the neighborhood and discover musicians performing from porches and yards while browsing artwork from talented local artists and makers. Use our event map to chart your own adventure through the Westgate community.

Performance and vendor locations will be located throughout the event area bounded by Broad St., Sullivant Ave., Demorest Rd., and Hague Ave., with Crescent Park (at Binns Blvd. & Olive St.) serving as the home base.

Whether you’re performing, vending, volunteering, or simply exploring, Rock The Block is a free, family-friendly celebration of the creativity that makes our community special.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements as they happen!
