This year’s party will feature fun for the whole family; free food, fun, and live music. Block party-goers will dance in the streets to the funky sounds of the JazzED Second Line and the soulful stylings of Seattle’s own Marina and the Dreamboats. Come on out and join the party.
This is a free public event, and all are welcome.

Meet the Musicians!
The JazzED Second Line
The JazzED Second Line is a fun, high energy, musical walking street parade inspired by the long time New Orleans second line tradition. The JazzED second line group features brass-and-percussive arrangements (think loud and proud), creating powefrul and vivacious music
Marina and the Dreamboats
Marina and the Dreamboats was originally a rag-tag team of regular jammers Mo' Jam Mondays at The Nectar Lounge in Seattle. Marina was assigned a group of players to be part of the Mo' Jam feature on Band in Seattle in 2015. Marina had a taste and she was hooked. She needed more horns.
The band continues to delight audiences of all ages with their blend of jazz, soul and classic pop. They released their self-titled freshman album on July 13, 2018. In March, 2019, they won the Battle of the Bands at the Hard Rock Cafe Seattle, proving this jazz crossover group has something to offer all listeners.
