You're invited
Oak Street Block Party
One afternoon, the whole street, nobody has to drive anywhere.
- When
- Saturday, September 26
4pm to 9pm - Where
- Oak St between 4th and 5th
Street closes to cars at 3pm. Park on Maple or 4th. - If it rains
- Sun, Sep 27
Same time, same street. We'll email and text everyone by 10am.
We've been saying we should do this for two summers. So: grills on the street, a long table down the middle, kids on bikes, music that isn't too loud until it is.
Come for ten minutes or the whole evening. Bring a chair if you have one, and something to share if you can. That's the whole ask.
Hosted by Nate (#412) and The Riveras (#418). Questions: nate@12linestudio.com
