Dillinger Block Party at Boulder City

Part of the town’s Historic Preservation Day Celebration, the Boulder City bash returns for its eighth installment this weekend, and it’s gearing up to be the biggest one yet. Every second Saturday in May, the Dillinger restaurant shuts down a few blocks of Arizona Street in the quaint Downtown area for an all-ages gathering complete with music, food trucks, vendors and more. “You can say we’ve honed in the art of block partying,” says event organizer Tsvetelina Stefanova.

The prestigious beer drinking competition will be back, along with new competitions like Best Dog on the Block and Best Dad Noise. This year’s version will also feature live music from LA rapper Biz’ DirtyHarvard, Boulder City favorites the Junkyard Dogs, Sandy Nelson and Same Sex Mary and more, with Burger Records co-founder Lee Burger spinning vinyl between sets.

The block party also serves as a fundraiser for the Shane Patton Foundation, which provides scholarships to local high school students. And it all kicks off with a parade led by Boulder City High School’s marching band. May 11, 3 p.m.- 2 a.m., free. –Leslie Ventura
