The World’s Largest Block Party is a two day event to benefit the church’s outreach services and mission, as well as the Global Alliance for Africa and the Career Transitions Center for Chicago. It is in its 26th year and attracts top musical acts over blocks of what looks like an incredible street fair. There's tons of food (loved Connie’s Pizza, Chicago Deep Dish at its best), beer and wine.
This is a 21 and over party because every charitable $40 ticket comes with five free drinks of Miller Beer or Barefoot Wine. Both companies generously donated their wares. Since Barefoot’s Pinot Grigio is a favorite (they were also pouring Pinot Noir), I was especially grateful for their generosity!
While everyone was eating and imbibing, music permeated the air of Chicago from two stages. I was there Friday night for the incredible performances of Kris Allen

The World’s Largest Block Party was a lot of fun for a good cause. I highly recommend getting it on your calendar for next year. If you’re not in the Chicago area, it’s just reason to make a trip to the Windy City for a charitable evening of great music, wine and beer . And if that’s not enough to get you there, I hear the event also holds the record for all the couples who have met there and lived happily ever after!
Packages for the World's Largest Block Party are available at the Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown
