Rock the Block is back for its third year! Join us every third Wednesday from May through August for an evening of live music, outdoor dining, and family-friendly fun in the heart of downtown White Plains.

Last summer, Rock the Block brought thousands of residents and visitors to Mamaroneck Avenue for four nights of great food, live music, and an unforgettable downtown atmosphere. With restaurants expanding into the street, families enjoying games and activities, and the avenue filled with energy, Rock the Block quickly became one of White Plains’ favorite summer traditions.

For these special nights, Mamaroneck Avenue will be closed to cars, transforming it into White Plains’ premier “Str”eat”ery with expanded outdoor dining, entertainment, games, and more!

Best of all, this event is FREE to attend.

What to Expect

Enjoy a fun and lively evening featuring:

• Expanded outdoor dining along Mamaroneck Avenue
• Live music performances
• Mini golf and lawn games (including cornhole)
• A family-friendly atmosphere for all ages
