Starting next month, a favorite Harrisburg neighborhood get-together returns for the season.
SoMa Block Parties will kick off for the summer on Thursday, May 29, bringing back music, food and community to the downtown block, announced Sara Bozich and Harristown Enterprises on Tuesday.
Each month, the block of S. 3rd Street between Market and Chestnut streets will close to vehicle traffic, businesses will stay open late, and food and drink vendors will set up shop. Craft breweries and wineries, non-alcoholic drink vendors and food trucks will participate.
Additionally, each block party will feature live music and yard games.
This season’s musical lineup includes Mark DeRose & the Dreadnaughts (May), Cass and The Bailout Crew (June), Vivid Vinyl (July), Smokehouse 4 (August), and Oversoon with special guest Comb Over Here (September).
Block Parties run from 6 to 10 p.m. Parking is free for most of downtown after 5 p.m.
