In 2018, a group of small businesses in Youngstown gave a bunch of friends in their early 20's a chance to try something new in the city. That opportunity grew into a summer tradition we call The Block Party. Our event was built with duct tape, a whole lotta love, and the firm belief that Youngstown’s proudest days are yet to come.

​

With love for the Youngstown music scene & a parking lot, the culture we created inspired us to make The Block Party a multiplier for even more possibilities within the arts, music, small business, and beyond in Youngstown. Growing the event each year, we've worked with over 80 artists, 26 businesses, and reached 2,500+ unique attendees.
