The Southeast Side's Biggest Block Party is back!
Six blocks of friendly neighbors, former neighbors, neighborhood boosters and guests will reunite to celebrate all the things that make this leafy corner of the City such a great place to live and raise a family.
There will be live music, food trucks, local vendors and lots of fun for young and old.
Come celebrate a good, old fashioned Block Party with us!
Please Note: Putting on a big community event like the Ridgeland Homecoming isn’t cheap, but we believe that good people working together can accomplish anything they set their minds to! We count you, our supporters on Ridgeland Avenue, 87th Place, on Facebook and beyond, as just such good people.
We’re attaching the budget for this year’s event and hope you’ll pitch in whatever you can to make our modest goal possible.
We don’t sell tickets to the Ridgeland Homecoming but your contributions make it possible for us to offer the community a good old-fashioned fun time.
Thanks for your support and see you on August 5th!
