Brady Block Parties are FREE and open to the public! Free food from local food trucks will be provided for the first 500 guests thanks to The Community Cookout organization. Also expect music and art activations by Elementz and ROMAC, and games and activities for all ages.

The party is capped off with an outdoor concert by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Award-winning bassist and 2023 MAC Music Innovator Endea Owens joins the CSO with her band The Cookout for a concert led by conductor and 2022 MAC Music Innovator Antoine T. Clark. Detroit-raised recording artist, bassist, and composer, Endea Owens brings her “masterful playing and exuberant charm” (NPR) to the West End in a varied program of music from classical to R&B. Groove to hits from Stevie Wonder, sway to the jazz and big-band sounds of Owens and Cole Porter, and relax to the lush orchestral harmonies of Florence Price and William Grant Still.
