The Black on State Block Party will be held Sunday, Sept. 22, on the 400-600 blocks of State Street in downtown Madison.

“Black on State will exude creativity, spark connections and collaboration, and serve as a catalyst for rejuvenating the idea of downtown Madison,” said Ashley Moseberry, owner of Alkeme, the host of the block party, in a press release. “From eye-catching activations to vendor booths that turn heads to a variety of entertainment for everyone, this is a celebration of culture, innovation, and community spirit.

“It’s time to celebrate, incorporate, and engage with the underrepresented pillars of our community,” she added. “Art, creativity, culture, and entrepreneurship have been silent sponsors of our community’s growth, development, and swag.”

Black on State was designed for accessibility, ensuring everyone in the community can participate. The event will have free activities and entertainment with local food trucks and is free to attend.
