Iowa City’s biggest event of the year returns this summer! The 8th Annual Downtown Block Party is Saturday, June 28th, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and will take over 14 blocks in Downtown Iowa City. All of the programming activities and entertainment at the event are completely free and targeted toward all ages. Rather than selling physical tickets, the event instead sells Block Party cups that allow attendees 21 and older to purchase their drink and take it into the street to enjoy.
