A Reimagined Celebration of Community

Rock the Block: Unplugged is a scaled, intentional version of our long-running Rock the Block street festival-bringing the heart of Southtown together in a closer, more connected space.

This year's event focuses on what matters most: building relationships, celebrating culture, and expanding access to critical resources, that support wellness, housing, and opportunity for all.

💭 From LAKIYA JENKINS,
