Waco Block Party 2025: Celebrating Music, Community, and Support for The Cove
Waco Block Party 2025 is set to bring the community together once again for a weekend filled with music, local vendors, and a celebration of creativity. From February 28 to March 2, this annual event, hosted by Southern Roots Brewing Co. and Rogue Media Network, will showcase Waco’s vibrant arts and culture scene while supporting a meaningful cause.
This year’s Block Party will benefit The Cove, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources and support for unhoused youth in Waco. The Cove is a Waco-based nonprofit designed to specifically provide a safe space for youth experiencing homelessness to access the resources they need to thrive. The Cove serves our community as a safe haven for high school students experiencing homelessness, offering essential services such as hot meals, showers, laundry facilities, and access to counseling, job training, and academic support. Their mission is to create a nurturing environment where youth can find stability, develop skills, and build a path toward a brighter future.
With a full lineup of events designed to engage and entertain, the weekend promises something for everyone.
The event kicks off on Friday, February 28, with an All Request Piano Night at Southern Roots Brewing Co. From 7 to 10 PM, guests can request their favorite songs, sing along, and enjoy craft beer and food from Southern Roots, setting the tone for an exciting weekend ahead.
Saturday, March 1, is packed with activities, including a Battle of the Bands, a vendor market, and a car show. Local musicians will compete for the top spot, while vendors showcase unique handmade goods and businesses from across Waco. Car enthusiasts will also have the chance to admire a variety of classic and custom vehicles. With entertainment, shopping, and community engagement all in one place, it’s the perfect way to spend the day.
The weekend concludes on Sunday, March 2, with The Texas Creator Awards at the Waco Hippodrome. This event highlights some of Texas’s most talented podcasters, filmmakers, writers, and social media creators, recognizing their impact on storytelling and digital media. The awards ceremony is a chance to celebrate the creative voices shaping the region’s artistic landscape.
Waco Block Party isn’t just about having a great time—it’s about giving back. A portion of the proceeds from the event will go directly to The Cove, helping provide much-needed services to youth in need. By attending, sponsoring, or spreading the word, the Waco community can play a role in making a lasting difference.
