Back Outside: The Block Party

📅 Saturday, August 30, 2025
🕛 12 PM – 9 PM
📍 Boston Square Neighborhood, Grand Rapids, MI

OUTSIDE IS CALLING!
And we're going to show the kids what that really means when we shut down Boston Square for the block party the city’s been waiting for and you’re invited!
Back Outside is more than a party, it’s a movement to build and strengthen a true ecosystem where Black businesses, nonprofits, and families grow together.

• 🎶 Live DJs + 90s throwback vibes
• Food from Black-owned vendors
• Games, competitions, and prizes
• Kids Zone full of fun
• VIP Lounge to kick back and connect

And it’s FREE.

What to Expect:

• Black-Owned Businesses + Local Entrepreneurs
• Black-Led Nonprofit Spotlights
• Food, Art, and 90s Culture
• Games, Giveaways, and Family Fun
• An Ecosystem Built on Circulation, Support, and Sustainability

How We’re Building Our Ecosystem:
When you spend money with our Black-owned vendors, you’re not just supporting a business you’re fueling Black-led nonprofits that are doing critical work in our community.

✅ Your dollars stay here.
✅ Your dollars create impact.
✅ Your dollars build legacy.

This is about more than a day of fun, it’s about strengthening our economy, investing in our people, and creating a cycle of support that directly uplifts the Black community in Grand Rapids.

🎟️ Tickets are FREE — RSVP now to be part of the movement!
