Hailed as the bash of the year, the Tom Tom Festival’s annual Block Party is an all-in cultural event that allows partygoers to wander from one musical event to another—going gaga for the 100 Proof Band’s go-go at Ting Pavilion, soaking up the sultry soul of Richelle Claiborne and Friends at The Front Porch, shaking it up at dozens of DJ sets in between, and swingin’ by after-parties in all directions. Drag shows, fashion shows, art installations, and a kid zone are sprinkled throughout. $10 donation, 5pm. Downtown Mall. tomtomfoundation.org
