End summer with Block Party & Taste of Batavia on Aug. 31
Batavia MainStreet is hosting its annual Block Party & Taste of Batavia on Sunday, Aug. 31 from 3 to 8 p.m. at Peg Bond Center, with a car show on Houston Street.
“Block Party & Taste of Batavia is one of the best ways to wrap up summer in our community,” said Batavia MainStreet Assistant Director Kristen Desler. “It’s a day to come together, enjoy amazing food and drinks from our downtown restaurants, and this year we’re thrilled to welcome new live music acts — Cheryl Rodey and The Gentlemen a cover band joining us from Quincy, Illinois. We’re also starting an hour earlier, because we know people are always eager to get the party started sooner!”
Dig into $5 food tastings and refreshing drinks, including craft brews from Sturdy Shelter Brewing and Grainology BrewStillery.
Treat your taste buds to tastings from Windmill Grille & Pizzeria, Sidecar Supper Club, Gammon Coach House, Pal Joey’s, Wilson Street Tavern, Fernando’s Street Kitchen, and Thai Village — plus farmers market favorites Tamalex, Q&A Beignet, Bella Rosa Cannoli, and Cianti’s Catering.
Admission is free for kids and just $5 for adults, which includes a wristband for age 21 or older. In addition to the new live music lineup, the event will feature a performance from the Batavia Academy of Dance and a free family zone brought to you by the Congregational Church of Batavia with a bounce house and other activities.
The event also includes the annual pie bake-off hosted by the Batavia Mother’s Club and the Wayback Wheels Car Show featuring classic and unique cars, brought to you by the Batavia Depot Museum and sponsored by Boyce Body Werks.
