by | Jul 25, 2019 | QUEER RVA

Diversity Richmond’s third annual All-Americans Block Party is the perfect way to wrap up your week and celebrate Richmond’s LGBTQ community.

This weekend, it’s time for the community to come together, as Diversity Richmond throws their third annual All-Americans Block Party. This indoor event is the perfect way to beat the heat and come together with the city’s LGBTQ community as Diversity makes it a point to celebrate ALL Americans!

As in past years, the karaoke contest is the star attraction for this one, with five $100 prizes and one $500 grand prize up for grabs. Audience votes will select the winner, so come prepared to make a memorable impression! Your Mistress of Ceremonies is none other than Zakia Jemaceye, whose performances have been acclaimed around Richmond and around the entire nation.

Diversity’s Iridian Gallery will also be running a community art show and art sale in the event hall, featuring all sorts of local artists. There will also be three cash bars, and food will be provided as well. Sponsors for the event include Artisan Hill Apartment Community, Treehouse Reality, State Farm Insurance, and Mongrel, and all proceeds from the event will go to benefit Diversity Richmond in their efforts to support the greater Richmond LGBTQ community. Help them help us all!

Diversity Richmond’s All Americans Block Party will take place on Friday, July 26 (that’s tomorrow!) from 5:30 til 8 PM at Diversity Richmond’s event hall, located at 1407 Sherwood Ave. Admission is free, so come cool off and enjoy an evening of singing, dancing, and appreciating our community!
