Adding to the festivities, CityPlace retailers and restaurants will offer a lineup of special activations, tastings and experiences along Rosemary Avenue.

"CityPlace has always been a place where people come together, whether they're grabbing dinner, shopping, or spending time with friends and family,” said Eileen Sturgis, Director of Marketing at Related Ross. “This Block Party is a chance to bring all of that together in one afternoon and celebrate the businesses, organizations, and people that make this community so vibrant."
In addition to celebrating local businesses, the CityPlace Community Block Party will support the broader West Palm Beach community through a charitable giveback benefiting Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts. Participating businesses will contribute 10% of event-day proceeds to help provide funding for student programs, classroom resources, and arts initiatives. Neighborhood restaurants Harry's and Adrienne's will join as giveback partners, each contributing 10% of event-day proceeds to support the school's arts programs.
"We’ve always believed that the best neighborhoods create moments that bring people together, and that's exactly what we hope this day will do," said Webber Hudson, Executive Vice President of Retail Leasing & Asset Management at Related Ross. "Yes, it's a celebration of everything happening at CityPlace, but it's also about showing up for our community. By partnering with Dreyfoos School of the Arts, our retailers, and our restaurants, we're creating an experience that supports local students and families while celebrating the community we all share."
