Winter Block Party 2023: Celebrating 15 Years of Vocalo

Vocalo is turning 15… so we thought: what better way to celebrate than by bringing back our biggest party of the year?

Winter Block Party is returning to Metro and Smartbar on Feb. 18, and everyone is invited to spend the day with us and the creators who make our city great! This year’s Block Party will feature programming from community organizations, including frequent partner Young Chicago Authors, an indoor market with local vendors, performances from local artists and DJ sets to keep everyone grooving all day long.

Come celebrate Vocalo and Chicago’s rich arts and culture with us!

This year’s Winter Block Party lineup includes performances from Mamii and Ausar, and DJ sets from Ayana Contreras, Jesse De La Peña, DJ Intel, DJ Charlie and All The Way Kay. Young Chicago Authors will also be providing workshops, live poetry performances and their hip-hop museum.

This event is presented in partnership with Vocalo and Young Chicago Authors. Official RSVP link and a list of vendors in the indoor marketplace is coming soon.
