Episode Details

Organizers of the Silver Room Sound System Block Party recently announced that this would be their final year. Although it started as a more traditional block party in 2002, the event has grown to be one of Chi’s most highly-anticipated summertime fests, especially for Black Chicago. The Triibe Contributor Danielle Sanders talks with Jacoby about the legacy of the Silver Room Block Party and the viability of these cultural fests. We also hear from the Silver Room’s founder, Eric Williams.

The last Silver Room Block Party is next weekend, July 29-30. Find out more and snag your tickets here.

Last year, we recorded our very first live episode at the Silver Room on the eve of their 2022 block party. You can check it out here.

We mentioned Tacos y Tamales in Pilsen this weekend.
