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!
Crescent Park (at Binns Blvd. & Olive St.) will serve as the home base for the day. Please note that the streets directly to the east and west of Crescent Park will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the event.
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.
We’re still looking for volunteers! Want to be involved? We have shifts for Set Up, Morning, Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon, and Evening Shift & Teardown. Please sign up at Sign Up Genius here and be a part of the community event! Volunteers will receive a free Rock the Block shirt for volunteering!
