Trades District Block Party

You’re invited to celebrate the Trades District Block Party — an evening of music, food, art, and discovery. The Trades District is Bloomington’s hub for innovation, creativity, and connection. It’s where startups launch, ideas grow, and the community comes together to imagine what’s next. Together, we’ll mark the progress of the Lilly Endowment Inc. College and Community Collaboration grant and celebrate the exciting future of the Trades District.

What to expect:
– Live performances on the main stage and in the plaza
– Hands-on art activities, artist talks, and previews of new public art
– Tech demos featuring robotics, drones, 3D printing, and student-designed video games
– Food trucks and local drinks from Upland Brewery, Oliver Winery, and Cardinal Spirits
– Lawn games, crafts, and family-friendly fun
