Walk the

Block 2024

Friday September 27th Saturday, September 30th 2024

We are gearing up for another exciting fundraiser and we have an exciting announcement.

Walk the Block 2024 is now TWO DAYS!

  • DAY ONE
    Friday Sept 27
    Walk the Block Institute
    In 2024 we are introducing annual festival themes highlighting the work of one of our program areas and the social issue or function it is designed to serve. This year the theme “Who We Are…Where We Are…How We Are” amplifies the anti-displacement organizing work of our CACE 21 program.

    With the introduction of annual themes we are doubly proud to announce the creation of Walk the Block Institute, a day-long series of activities informed by the annual theme. Walk the Block Institute brings together artists, community members, organizers and subject matter experts to apply creative thinking and ideation to the concrete challenges Wa Na Wari addresses through its many different programs. 

  • DAY TWO
    Saturday Sept 28
    Walk the Block Art Festival

    Walk the Block is a one-day art festival that transforms Central District homes, businesses, parks, porches, and other common spaces into art installations and performance sites. Participants enjoy visual art, video installations, live music, dance parties, community stories and more as they stroll the neighborhood with family and friends. Walk the Block is Wa Na Wari’s annual fundraising event, but more importantly, it’s an opportunity for neighbors, families, elders, artists, local businesses, and legacy homeowners to build community while filling the streets with their love and appreciation for Black art.
