The last Silver Room Block Party is this weekend

The Silver Room Block Party is coming to an end, after nearly 20 years of music, food, and fun.

CHICAGO - A summer event in Bronzeville is coming to an end after nearly 20 years of music, food, and fun.

The final Silver Room Sound System Block Party kicks off Saturday at Oakwood Beach. It started as a modest event for friends and family but grew to a multicultural, all-ages music and arts festival.

"This event brings together all parts of the city, using art as a focus. Young and old, everybody comes together. Just seeing friends in the city, you know, kind of like when the Bulls won a championship. I remember that was a really great time. This reminds me of that," said Eric Williams, Silver Room founder. "Everybody just having fun, laughing, and dancing."
