ANNUAL BLOCK PARTY

Celebrate Community & Culture: 10 Years of Calaveras

Join us at intersection W. Armitage Ave & N Humboldt Blvd. as we celebrate a decade of Calaveras Barbershop & SMP. This year, our celebration carries a deeper mission: supporting Ballet Folklorico de Chicago following recent attacks on their students.

We’re turning the music up to drown out hate. Join your neighbors for a day of live performances by Grupo Tumbao and Furious Styles, local DJs, food, and drinks. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for student leadership and scholarships. We’re half way there!
