The First Annual Bikes and Bands Block Party

THE BIKES

We’ve got a motorcycle contest and show during the Block Party. Bring your bike down and enter one of six categories. It’s just $7 to register ($5 if you preregister online) and you can win $150-$250 in prizes from local favorites (like VState Clothing, Bay Street Shoes, Aura, Il Gatto and Uptown Cafeteria, Amore Victoria and Sheraton Midtown). Plus everyone who registers gets a commemorative Uptown Bikes and Bands Block Party kickplate.

Registration begins at 11am on Saturday. To preregister online, click here.

THE BANDS

We’ve got live music starting at 1pm:

1:00 – 1:00pm : Bryan Thuney
1:30 – 2:30pm : Dan Israel
3:00 – 4:00pm : Brass Kings

THE REST

There will be food and drinks from Famous Dave’s, Davanni’s, Summit Beer and Miller Lite. We’ll have events going on throughout the day, including henna tattooing, caricatures, temporary tattoos and other family-friendly things to do.

Brought to you by Calhoun Square and The Independent. Held within the newly renovated Calhoun Square and on Girard Avenue between Lake Street and 31st Street, the event will feature a variety of activities and entertainment.

Proceeds raised will benefit the Uptown Association.
