The Alley Chicago 48th Anniversary Block Party
The Alley, Chicago's venerable punk institution and sanctuary for local misfits, proudly announces its 48th-anniversary celebration on Sunday, June 9, from 12:00 to 6:00 pm. Acquired in 1976 by Mark Thomas, The Alley has evolved over nearly five decades to become the Midwest's premier destination for bikers, punks, goths, rockers, and aficionados of alternative lifestyles.
Block Party Highlights:
• Chicago Hardcore Hearse Club Annual Car Show Competition: Admire the Chicago Hardcore Hearse Club Collection of insane hearses and watch as they compete for the trophy and an actual casket.
• Live Music: Experience the vibrant sounds of local bands, including Animal Factory, Highdiver, Schrachee, and Sparkle Carcass as they fill the streets with music.
• Unique Atmosphere: Walk the hearse-lined streets and explore vendors offering one-of-a-kind treasures in The Alley parking lot.
• Fashion Show: Witness an alternative fashion showcase reflecting the diverse styles that The Alley has championed over the years.
• Local Artists: Engage with the thriving local art scene featuring artists like Jon Langford, Walter Fydryck, George Chakos, Frank Mascenic, Kirk Rohbaugh, Courtney Boatwright, Tim Hartford, Adam Helman and David Rubin.
