The Deep Ellum Foundation is hosting a block party this Saturday, Nov. 23 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Attendees have three experience options: a free RSVP option that is open to all ages, a $5 local showcase wristband for those 21 years of age and up and a $15 to $20 wine walk, also for individuals 21 years of age or older.

The Deep Ellum Block Party will be checking-in guests that RSVP’d at 2647 Main Street. Elm Street will be blocked off from Good Latimer to Malcolm X for the duration of the event. 

The free portion of the event, taking place from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., will feature a lineup of local artists starting at 3:00 p.m. The main stage will feature The Polyphonic Spree, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan and We Them Grays. 

After 7:00 p.m. those with wristbands will have access to the over 80 local bands playing across several venues in the neighborhood. During the event, live mural creations at Deep Ellum’s Art Park will take place, alongside an artist’s market, a beer garden next to Trees, a family fun zone, a Latin Quarter and more. 

Local eateries will be offering drink specials and deals at Deep Ellum’s food and drink hotspots.
