2026 Block Party at the Rail Park

Our free family-friendly Block Party showcases our community through fun arts activities and delicious foods!

Block Party returns to the Rail Park this summer! This free family-friendly event showcases our community through fun arts activities and delicious foods, and various cultural and neighbor organizations.

AAI's youth education program will collaborate on a public mural based on a mythological creation story imagined by the students. The story and characters will be rooted in the students’ experiences at AAI, as well as inherited knowledge about the program. This public work serves to celebrate the legacy of our long-running youth education program, as well as our beloved community park, Rail Park.

Through an accompanied scavenger hunt, the mural will invite viewers to interact with it by hinting at clues that implore visitors to explore the landscape in search of three-dimensional works scattered throughout Rail Park.

This event is supported by PNC Arts Alive and Friends of the Rail Park.
