13th Street Block Party aims to create a joyful, welcoming space for neighbors to connect and celebrate the power of community. We honor DC’s vibrant culture by showcasing local talents and providing a free, safe place for self-expression. Rooted in the spirit of mutual aid, 13th Street Block Party offers not only music, arts, and activities—but also opportunities to share resources, uplift local voices, and build networks of care amidst unprecedented threats to our collective safety.

13th Street Block Party will include music from local artists, drag performances, a skate competition, arts and crafts, and other activities. We're also uplifting the projects of our partner organizations working in mutual aid and community care in the DMV.

All funds raised will be used to compensate our artists and pay for supplies. Any leftover funds will be donated to our community partner organizations.
