💭 From LAKIYA JENKINS,
LINC UP Executive Director

“Rock the Block: Unplugged is all about deepening relationships and increasing access. We’re being thoughtful about how we use our resources so we can meet people where they are and create real, lasting impact”.

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.
