April 14--Bones Jugs and The Ron Porter Trio will perform at the block party planned in downtown Aurora May 6.
The annual party will also include a dozen food trucks. Music will go from 5 to 10 p.m. at Millennium Plaza on Stolp Avenue.
Aurora Downtown will sponsor the block party, which is part of its monthly First Fridays event. In addition to the block party, several venues will be open with art, music, and other offerings. The quarterly Pop Up Shop will be held once again from 6 to 9 p.m. at Leland Tower during the party.
"We are really excited to have this caliber of talent to add to the block party. Thanks to the partnerships Aurora Downtown has with the city and First Fridays venues, what started as a few food trucks parked along Downer Place last fall has grown into a full outdoor party with something for everyone," said Marissa Amoni, event organizer for Aurora Downtown.
The Ron Porter Trio, a group drawing from rhythm and blues, rock, jazz, reggae and more, will perform from 5 to 7 p.m.
Bones Jugs, billed as a 21st century throwback to 1920s ragtime, will perform from 7:30 to 10 p.m.
Food trucks will be parked on Downer Place just west of Stolp Avenue.
