As the days count down to the first day of official summer, more and more outdoor activities are taking place.

Kobold Brewing and Grace & Hammer are taking advantage of the weather by hosting a Rock The Block Party from 1 to 9 p.m. Saturday in the Alley behind 245 SW Sixth St., in Redmond.

“Join us for a day of great music, great beer, and great company” reads the event poster.

There will be live music all day long by local artists including Jeshua Marshall & The Flood, One Mad Man and Boomer Country.

This is a family-friendly event with fun for all. There will be a bounce house and face painting set up for kids, yard games like corn hole, plenty of food from Grace & Hammer Pizzeria, Westside Taco Co. and Feast Food Company, and drinks by Kobold Brewing.

“It being (Saturday), it’s kind of a perfect kickoff to summer,” said Kevin Meyer, co-owner of Kobold Brewing. “So we’re kind of hoping that people will come out and celebrate that fact with us and have a good day.”

After a successful collaboration between Kobold and Grace & Hammer last summer when they held Summer Fest, the two businesses decided to bring more events like that to the Redmond community this year.

“We just kind of got it in our head that that was a really fun way to connect with the community and kind of create a fun day for everybody,” Meyer said. “So we decided that we would expand our event schedule this year and do one here in June just to kickoff the summer and give a big thanks to the community at large for supporting us.”

The event, which is sponsored by Purelight Power, T-Mobile, Brady Velikonia and Keller Williams Realty, is free to attend and open to the public.
