PB Block Party promises good music

Thousands of people flock every year to Pacific Beach for the annual block party. Each year features live music, vendors and activities.

This year, 10 stages will feature musical talent, both local and semi-famous. Stages range from a KSDS Jazz 88 Jazz & Blues stage to a Sobe Electronica Stage (Channel 93.3) to Rock 105.3’s Baja Bash Stage. Simply put, there’s something for everyone at this fun-filled event. Beyond the stages, there will be live street performers, including Latin, Brazilian and Andes groups helping you shake your groove thing throughout the day.

In addition to music, there are also over 400 vendors to shop from, selling just about everything you can imagine from beach gear to arts and crafts.

And if you don’t want to part with too much of your hard-earned cash, you can also check out the different carnival rides and arts and crafts booths that will be featured. Pony rides, sports games and a climbing wall also help make up the Block Party Kids Zone that even adults can play in.

If you get hungry, there’s always the huge international food court, which will feature over 50 different vendors.

Any profits made from the event will benefit the PB community. All proceeds will be donated to community groups, such as the Pacific Beach Historical Fund, Pacific Beach Elementary School, Pacific Beach Kiwanis, Pacific Beach Lions Club and the Mission Bay Youth Field Association. The event is free to the public, and will take place May 10 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The PB Block Party runs from Ingraham to Mission on the 1500 block of Garnet Avenue.
