Liberty Station will give a taste of Point Loma to those in attendance at this weekend’s Summer Block Party.
The doors of the newest businesses at Liberty Station will be open to the public and free of charge this 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 11, to celebrate the start of summer.
“Our aim is to invite the San Diego community, Point Loma residents and first time visitors to experience firsthand what Liberty Station has to offer,” said Nathan Cadieux, president of The Corky McMillin Cos., the development company that transformed Liberty Station into a commercial hub.
There will be kid-friendly games, craft stands, live music, and much more. The event will kickoff with a free all-levels yoga class from Yoga Six.
Guests are encouraged to visit the Art District and the San Diego Comic Art Gallery where there will be a meet and greet event with Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Guests are also welcome to visit the new Moniker General, where the first 50 customers will receive a tote bag with free coffee and beer samples.
Those in attendance are invited to taste their way through Liberty Station and try food and drinks from some of the best restaurants in San Diego. Mess Hall, Dirty Birds and Officine Buona Forchetta are among a few of the many eateries offering complimentary tastings. The Lot will be offering popcorn to guests wandering around and Soda & Swine will be sampling their summer cocktails.
“From newly opened eateries to the long-standing art galleries and everything in between, the Summer Block Party is a new and exciting way to engage with the neighborhood,” Cadieux said.
With the opening of the Liberty Public Market and the success of the businesses taking up residence there, the former naval base has become a major neighborhood attraction. For the block party, Liberty Station has an evening full of food, fun and entertainment planned for those in attendance.
“There are so many new restaurants, galleries and shops that have opened and are waiting to be discovered, we just can’t wait for the community to experience them firsthand,” Cadieux said. Summer Block Party Where: Liberty Station. When: 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 11.
