Rock the Block Party
Rock the Block Party
June 27, 2008
Finally! After a series of rain outs, Hartford finally got its sorely needed Block Party Friday, June 27. A collaboration between the Wood-n-Tap, Agave Grill, the Palace, the Pour House and Metromix, the party shut down Allyn Street and featured live music (headlined by Hartford's own Kick), beer tents and outdoor grills.
