The annual 9th Street Street Block takes place this Saturday

The annual 9th Street A-1 Block Association Block Party is this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Residents and merchants along the block — Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue — will have items for sale. Expect some live music, too. 

As we've said, this is a top-two neighborhood block party (this and the 10th Street Block Festival). 

As of now, Saturday's weather forecast doesn't call for any rain, which is a good thing. The city doesn't allow make-up dates, and last year's edition was rained out.

The 9th Street Block Party scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled due to rain

The heavy rain expected tomorrow has prompted organizers to cancel tomorrow's 9th Street A-1 Block Association Block Party between Avenue A and First Avenue.

And this will not be rescheduled. As we understand, the city will no longer allow rain dates for events like this.

A shame, as — along with the 10th Street Block Festival — this is one of the best block events around... and organizers have been hard at work planning this year's edition.

The annual 9th Street Block Party is back, and happening tomorrow (Saturday!)

For the first time since 2019, the 9th Street A-1 Block Association Block Party — one of the best around — is back in action... happening tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 17) from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Both residents and merchants along the block — Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue — will have items for sale. Expect some live music too.
