Cherry Street Health & Wellness Block Party

About This Grant

Hip Hop is Green will host the first annual, free-of-cost, Cherry Street Block Party: a one-day community celebration on September 6, 2025 on East Cherry Street between 24th and 26th Avenues. The purpose of the Cherry Street Block Party is to build community and social cohesion for local organizations, artists, chefs, and small businesses who focus on uplifting and empowering Black and Brown families in Seattle’s Central District. The CD is Seattle’s historically Black neighborhood and has faced ongoing waves of gentrification. Luckily, there is a growing community movement to reclaim the CD as a hub for Black culture and resilience. Hip Hop is Green will produce the event, working collaboratively with a roster of 16+ partner organizations. Programming will include food demos and samples, wellness workshops, booths with information about community programs, and live performances. This project will be completed by October 31, 2025.
