Get ready to kick off summer with a special Rock the Block series hosted by The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA). The Rock the Block summer series began on June 5, featuring a performance by Jeremy Lozano.
This summer series hopes to bring together the local business community and residents to experience a happy hour like no other. Hosted at Marjorie Park, which is located on the north side of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, attendees who RSVP for these free events will be invited to play outdoor games, enjoy the beautiful MOA sculptures, free art tours and concessions, while having an opportunity to build community amongst each other and enjoy the live music.
In years past, this event was presented as a lunchtime series; however, in hopes of bringing more of the community together, MOA has changed this event to a happy hour series. The idea behind the Rock the Block series was to utilize art as a creative means of bringing together local businesses and the community outside of their office hours.
Tim Baca, director of marketing and communications, said, “I think we’re most excited about bringing the community together in an art-filled environment. Our mission is to make art a part of everyday life, so if we can inspire people by coming to our sculpture park and enjoying community and the art, I think we’d have fulfilled our mission.”
While this is a free event for attendees, all guests need to register online in advance.

• July 10: musical guest Luke Henry
