One Last Rock the Block!
Get ready for our fourth and FINAL Rock the Block concert on Wednesday, August 20th on Mamaroneck Avenue (Between Maple Avenue and E. Post Road) from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm!
It’s hard to believe summer is already winding down, and we’re excited to celebrate this season’s end with a spectacular evening featuring Ada Dyer and The Everyday People Tribute Band.
Ada Dyer is an incredibly talented singer, known for her work on Warp 9’s ’80s club hits, as well as her two solo albums on Motown. She has toured with music legends like Chaka Khan and Lenny Kravitz, and has collaborated with iconic artists including U2, Sting, and Luther Vandross. The Everyday People Band, a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone, will also grace the stage, making this concert a heartfelt tribute to the late Sly Stone.
As a special addition, we’re thrilled to bring back Bark Boulevard in partnership with 4mydogs! This designated pup area will be available during the concert, just in time for National Dog Day on August 26th. Your furry friends can enjoy a Hydration Station, navigate an Obstacle Course, and treat themselves to delicious Pup Cups!
Join us for one last celebratory evening as we wrap up our summer concert series! Come out to dance, savor al fresco meals from our participating restaurants, play mini-golf, and enjoy our golf simulator and yard games! All accompanied by fantastic free live music. We love being able to bring everyone together for these summer concerts, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you one last time!
