In case you haven’t heard, Deep Ellum is throwing a big block party on Saturday.
The free neighborhood event starts at noon, Nov. 22 and boasts over 100 musical acts playing every genre and at every venue. This includes headliners Mothership and Joshua Ray Walker at 9 p.m. and 8 p.m., respectively, at Trees. All set times can be found here.
“Deep Ellum is where Mothership was forged, and returning home to Trees feels electric,” said Kyle Juett of Mothership in a press release. “This weekend’s Block Party isn’t just a show — it’s a celebration of the soul of the neighborhood that raised us.”
And while you’re in the neighborhood, you might as well stop by the Deep Ellum Community Center on Elm Street and see the exhibit on the history of our cultural district’s music scene.
Aside from the music, at noon, there will also be a district-wide scavenger hunt starting at Dot’s Hop House & Cocktail Courtyard on Commerce Street, the Deep Ellum Outdoor Market on Crowdus Street between Main and Elm Streets, and mural painting at Deep Ellum Blues Alley by Dan Colcer on St. Pete’s Dancing Marlin, according to a press release. DFW All-Pro Wrestling will take place starting at 2:30 p.m. in the Trees parking lot.
