First Fridays Summer Block Party

Turn up the energy this summer at City Center! We're bringing the HEAT with an evening of music, food, drinks, and community at our Summer Block Party Series. Shop small with local vendors, dance to live DJ sets, fuel up with delicious eats, and #SipandStroll your way down Mariners Row. Bring the fam (yes, leashed pups too!) bring a lawn chair, and bring your good energy.

🍹 What is Sip & Stroll?

Stop by Chef's Market Food Hall, Salsa's, or Tinto Wine & Cheese to grab a drink. Then you can sip & stroll along Mariners Row with drink in hand. Dance, play games, shop from local vendors, and soak in the fun—all while enjoying your spirited beverages.


🛍️ Interested in being a vendor?

We'd love to hear from you! Submit your application here: https://forms.gle/rYeTam9gikMLmM1q9. Due to high interest, we may not be able to respond to every submission, but if selected, a team member will reach out to you directly.

🚨PLEASE NOTE: There is an influx of Facebook scam accounts claiming to be looking for vendors for various events. We will ONLY communicate with vendors and guests from our official City Center at Oyster Point Facebook page, or an official Colliers (our property management company) email address. We do NOT currently charge vendor fees or request payment from vendors. If an account messages you about vendor opportunities and asks for money, please IGNORE and/or REPORT the account. To confirm vendor opportunities, please feel free to contact us directly through our official channels.
