Let’s get ready to celebrate local vendors and community partnerships! The Mariano’s Block Party is back — and this year, we’re giving guests three chances to meet local vendors and other talent from the Chicagoland community. Mariano’s Block Party is an open-air, market-style event, featuring local vendors showcasing their products (whether they are sold in Mariano’s stores or not), alongside live music, break dancers, product samples, family activities, and more! We will also have community partners such as I Am A Gentleman, AIDS Foundation Chicago and Dion’s Chicago Dream in hand to share the mission of their essential work.

The idea for a Mariano’s Block Party began last summer as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to put together an event that allowed customers to shop safely while giving vendors the chance to connect with guests and introduce their products to new customers.

Mariano’s will also be making a food donation of non-perishable goods to AIDS Foundation Chicago and St. Elizabeth’s Food Pantry to help fight hunger in the community.
