The 10th Annual IPA, Champagne and Rose Block Party on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from 11:00am to 8:00pm will bring you one of the city’s best line-ups of IPAs for only $5.00 each, plus small batch champagnes and roses.

The party will stretch from 11th and Fitzwater to 11th and Catharine. This all day, all ages event is free, open to the public, and dog friendly. Guests must be 21 and older to drink, with identification.

“We are proud to present our tenth year for Hawthornes’ Annual IPA, Champagne and Rose Block Party,” said owner Chris Fetfatzes.  “What started out as a smaller neighborhood festival outside our doors has taken on a new life and expanded every year. This year we bring back the roses, champagnes and sparkling wines based on past popular demand. We’ll see you on South Street!”

For 2019’s festival, look for sweet and savory cuisine from ten of the region’s biggest names in food trucks, including: French Toast Bites by Street Food Philly (by 33rd Street Hospitality Catering), Lokal Artisan Food (openng soon in the new Piazza Pod Park), Puyero Venezuelan Flavor (from South Street Headhouse District), Philly Fry, Dr. Wutzit Wonderballs, The Little Sicilian, The Munchy Machine, and much more.

Get ready to dance and rock in the street with live bands, including the Trinidelphia (Philadelphia’s premier Caribbean steel drum band) and The Paper Shakers (Philadelphia-based rock and roll trio playing iconic favorites plus their own originals).

Bring the entire family (including your pup too) as this event has something for everyone – including food and drink, live music and a free kids zone. On top of the line-up of adult beverages for mom and dad, a line-up of food trucks for every palate, also look for free family fun in the Kids’ Zone – perfect for young families who want to make it a day in South Philly. Activities will include a giant inflatable slide, sidewalk chalk fun and bubbles galore. New this year, at 5:00pm the Kidz Zone turns into adult fun with adult themed face paint!
