The very first Bodega Block Party hosted around 500 visitors from 2-9pm in the parking lot of FVC Gallery, House of Dapper and the Walla Walla Tattoo Co.
An event thrown by Stardom & Vandal and Sounds of the People, inspiration came from Stardom & Vandal owner Matt Vazquez’ history as a New York City native. NYC’s melting pot of identities, music, faces and talents often come together with events of this nature in moments of celebration and community.
This event exceeded our expectations, and we are so excited to do it again.
