In the 1980s and ’90s, Party In The Park was the place to be seen in downtown Toledo’s Promenade Park, as music lovers and friends mingled in a summertime setting.
Beginning this week, Jim Lieber’s Sounds of Music brings back the spirit of Party In The Park with Party On The Block.
Starting Friday and continuing Fridays through Labor Day weekend, Party On The Block will take place from 4-8 p.m. outside the Huntington Center on Huron Street.
Local live entertainment, including bands and the Sounds of Music DJs, will entertain the crowds.
Adult beverages, as well as food vendors and others will be on hand. Admission is free.
This week, party band Boffo will perform. The event is sponsored by J Foster Jewelers, Martini & Nuzzi’s, The Blade, and iHeart Radio.
