Friday nights in May, June, and July citizens and visitors head downtown to the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce's newest event, Rock Around the Block. Rock Around the Block offers outstanding music from regional bands, food and beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and children's activities in our beautiful Central Park. Food and beverage sales begin at 5:30 pm and the band plays from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. Event goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets to the event.
