Elray’s will have live bands & DJ’s all day & night long!
Iowa City’s biggest event of the year returns this summer! The 9th Annual Downtown Block Party is set for Saturday, June 27 from 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and will take over 14 blocks in the heart of Downtown Iowa City. The event is for all ages and specifically targets the feel of a community block party. Rather than selling tickets, the event instead sells Block Party cups that allow attendees 21 and older to purchase their drink from local establishments and take it into the street to enjoy. All of the programming activities and entertainment are completely free and open to the public.
Pre-sale cups are live and can be purchased online for a reduced price of $10. Tickets will buy you the official event cup and wristband that will allow you to walk around the event with wine and beer in-hand. Cups only need to be purchased if you plan on consuming alcohol. Day-of cups can also be purchased during the event at cup stations for an increased price of $15.
This year’s festival is made possible through the generous support of community sponsors: GreenState Credit Union, Hills Bank, Thompson & Co. Salon Parlor, McGrath Toyota of Iowa City, KEG 1 Iowa, Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, Raising Cane’s, Iowa Speedway, RDG Planning & Design, ImOn, and Heather Bright, Realtor®. Proceeds from the event are donated to local groups, clubs, and non-profits that volunteer to support the festival.
See you on the street on June 27th!
