The Power of Placemaking: Nearly 2,000 People Celebrate on The BLVD

Nearly 2,000 people came together Saturday for a safe, welcoming, and successful BLVD Block Party! From the Kenmore Cowbell 7K, parade and Battle of the Bands to local artists, vendors, family activities, and live music up and down The BLVD, the day was a powerful reminder of what makes this neighborhood special: people showing up for one another and celebrating community together.

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, performers, vendors, partners, public safety personnel, and everyone who attended. Your support, patience, and positive energy helped make this event possible.
