Chamber of Commerce Throwing Block Party

Save the date! The first full-blown party of the summer is just around the corner.

Food, live music, and good company. You'll find all three at the Menlo Park Block Party this year. 

will hold the block party June 20 on Santa Cruz Avenue from 5-9 p.m.

Police will block traffic from crusing through downtown to allow Menlo Park to transform into a scene very similar to one that can be found on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Spain for a night. At last year's block party, more than 5,000 people strolled leisurely down Santa Cruz Avenue to mingle with their neighbors amid food trucks and live bands. This year, organizers are adding dance zones. (woo!) Facebook is erecting a stage upon which you'll see a variety of acts. 

The event coincides with the Summer Concert Series' first performance of the season.
