FOOD, DRINKS, & MUSIC

The Block Party has a full lineup in place for a thrilling evening to kick-off KAC’s Largest Fundraiser with a bang!

Enjoy music from SANKOFA and ST. JOE JACK!

The evening kicks off with St. Joe Jack from 5 – 6:30 pm.

 St. Joe Jack is an exciting culture of positive energy! Based in Southwest Michigan, where the beaches are plentiful and the beer is cold, Jack sets the stage to send his audience through a new world of music that keeps you dancing all night long. Everything from Stevie Wonder, Grateful Dead, and Louis Armstrong goes into his sound of Acoustic Dance Music and Jazz-Grass!

Headlining the Block Party is SANKOFA.

Local favorites return for your dancing pleasure! The band has crafted a tight blend of Neo-Soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Funk…and we can’t wait to jam with them! “Reclaiming The Past For A Better Future”. An eclectic soul band, whose members are passionate about creating and performing good music! 

Bring your appetite

We have three food trucks planned for this year’s festivities!

Diana’s Kitchen will be serving their delicious, home-cooked soul food…made just like you remember.

Benton Harbor’s Ben’s Soft Pretzels will be onsite and serving sweet & salty treats.

Tazty Treatz & More! of South Bend, IN, will also be onsite offering a variety of slushies, ice creams, and creative desserts!

Meet us for a drink

We love sharing a drink with friends – and what better friends than Round Barn Winery and The Livery Microbrewery! Beer and wine are $5 a glass. Pepsi products will be available for $3.

For the safety of all guests and artwork, pets are prohibited in Lake Bluff Park and at the Block Party. Service animals are always welcome.
