☘FROM THE SHAMROCK THE BLOCK ARCHIVES!☘
The year was 2008. Our third year with our little "block party" in Shockoe Bottom at the 17th Street Farmers Market. We had a full day of fun on the streets and had live music throughout the day from The Georgia Satellites. Check out the poster from that year.
📻Note the radio stations no longer in existence: Mix 103.7, 96.5 The Planet and Y101! Plus, Toad's Place made the poster! Remember those days??
If you have a memory of that day, send us a comment.
And, join us to make more memories SATURDAY as we celebrate 20 YEARS OF ROCKING BLOCK IN THE RVA for the 20th Annual Shamrock The Block - presented by Smiley's Bloody Mary. We will have a full day of fun in Scott's Addition (Leigh Street by Midtown Green) including live music, food, beer, cocktails, DJ PARTY ZONE, KIDS AREA and more. Plus, we will have double the bathrooms, double the beer trucks, and double the ticket-selling stations!
Get all the details on this year's big party in our bio.
