Jet back to the ‘80s at

Lakewood’s Rockin’ Block Party 

5 p.m., Saturday, June 3

Free and open to the public

May 9, 2023 [LAKEWOOD] – Jet back to the 80s with a totally radical reunion of all things retro at Lakewood’s annual kickoff to summer. Each year, this free summer event showcases local talent in an evening of music followed by a cinematic favorite.

Remember when MTV hit the airwaves? Get ready to rock retro style with Ronnie Raygun and the Big Eighties at the outdoor amphitheater at Heritage Lakewood. This big-hair band will deliver your favorite retro hits with the power and energy of the days when music videos took over pop culture.

Rockin’ Block Party features free entertainment and activities, food trucks and the Beer Garden presented by Foothills Credit Union. At 9 p.m. travel “Back to the Future” while watching the 1985 sci-fi classic projected on an outdoor screen. Audiences of all ages (and their well-behaved pups) are encouraged to bring picnic blankets or low lawn chairs to enjoy the night. The city’s free carryout shopping bags will also be available.

Rockin’ Block Party is generously supported by FedEx, Fermelia Dental, Foothills Credit Union, Gravina’s Window Center of Littleton, Mix 100, Muller Engineering Company, Xfinity and the patrons of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
