BLOK Party

This is the 5th BLOK Party - a FREE one day indoor festival uplifting BIPOC culture through art & music.

Sponsored by: Rough Draft, Night Swim, United We Om, O'Connor & Partners, Utility Bike Works, RUPCO, Eureka Mindspace, MichaelMackenzieMarketing

BLOK Parties are an opportunity for Black & Brown musicians, artists and makers in the Hudson Valley to showcase their crafts in a just environment that is intentionally created to uplift BIPOC artists, while providing joy for all who attend and an opportunity to support local artists while also holiday shopping.

Despite the Hudson Valley being filled with venues, fairs and festivals, there are many barriers to participation for those artists who are most historically impacted by the systems of oppression, and we seek to eliminate those barriers.

Performances:

Energy Dance Company - dancers from CCE

callie mackenzie - funk, soul & a little hip hop in a way you've not seen her perform before

Vael Sarela y su Orchestra - liberation music that blends merengue, bachata, salsa, spiritual jazz, funk, and hip hop into one irresistible rhythm.

Artists & makers of all kinds.
