Iowa City’s biggest event of the year returns this summer! The 8th Annual Downtown Block Party is set for Saturday, June 28th from 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and will take over 14 blocks in the heart of Downtown Iowa City. The event is for all ages and specifically targets the feel of a community block party. Rather than selling tickets, the event instead sells Block Party cups that allow attendees 21 and older to purchase their drink from local establishments to take into the street to enjoy. All of the programming activities and entertainment are completely free to the public.
Pre-sale cups can be purchased online for a reduced price of $10. Tickets will buy you the official event cup and wristband that will allow you to walk around the event with wine and beer in-hand. Cups only need to be purchased if you plan on consuming alcohol. Day-of cups can also be purchased during the event at cup stations for an increased price of $15.
This year you'll be welcomed with a wide variety of activities such as adult tricycle races, crossnet volleyball, kid's street hockey, hula hoop stations, rollerskating, live music, and so much more. And many fan favorites such as Dueling Pianos Sponsored by Hills Bank, Silent Disco Sponsored by GreenState Credit Union, the Main Stage Sponsored by iBev, and SCWPro Wrestling are slated to return.
Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors!
GreenState Credit Union, iBev, Hills Bank, Thompson & Co Salon Parlor, Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, RDG Planning & Design, The Learning Grove Academy, Lionheart Early Learning, McGrath Toyota of Iowa City, Iowa Speedway, and Raising Cane's.
