Rock The Block: A Skinker DeBaliviere Better Block Project – Saturday September 13 (Des Peres Avenue between Delmar & Kingsbury) On Saturday September 13th, an exciting and transformational event will take place along Des Peres Avenue called, “Rock The Block: A Skinker DeBaliviere Better Block Project”. SDCC is bringing neighborhood residents & friends together to re-imagine part of our beloved neighborhood using very little money, zero permanent infrastructure and lots of community support.
We will demonstrate what is possible in our neighborhood – including a dog park, restaurant, library, revitalized train station, live music, food, and more – and we want to get your feedback on what you see!
We hope that you’ll join us for this unique, family-friendly event! 2nd Annual State Fair – Saturday September 13 (Joe’s Cafe & Gallery, 6014 Kingsbury Ave) This year, the 2nd annual State Fair will be held during Rock The Block!
