Growing bigger and better every year, the 10th Anniversary edition of The Silver Room’s Sound System Block Party will take place this Saturday, July 21st from Noon to 10 p.m. at Evergreen and Milwaukee (between Hollywood Cleaners and Brooklyn Industries).
In honor of the event, a new mural just went up alongside Hollywood Cleaners. The theme of the party and the mural is “Things That Matter.”
The block party, which drew over 3,000 attendees last year, will showcase 30 hours of varied performances on three stages.
Among the highlights are Joe Claussell from New York’s Body and Soul Dj collective, tango lessons, a skateboard exhibition from Uprise Skate Shop (pictured), various live music performances, artists, children’s activities, visual artists and food from around the neighborhood. There’s a $5 suggested donation for admittance.
