Welcome to Day 1 of the Vendor Takeover event, where excitement starts right at noon! As you walk into Meanwhile Block, you'll be greeted with music, energetic vibes, and over 60 unique vendors offering incredible products and services. Our $20 balloon pop will be in full swing—every time you spend $20, you get to pop a balloon and win a mystery prize. On top of that, look out for the flash sales, happening every 10 minutes at various vendor booths. There’s always a surprise waiting for you!
The main event of the day is the Pitch Royale, starting at 12:30 PM, where 10 businesses will pitch their hearts out in 60 seconds to impress a panel of judges. The winner takes home a free booth for our next event! This high-stakes showdown is bound to keep you at the edge of your seat.
Afterward, you’ll be treated to performances from some incredible local talent, with the first act kicking off at 1:00 PM. Stay engaged and keep the energy high, as you’ll also have a chance to participate in the Dance-Off at 3:00 PM. Show off your best moves, and you could win awards for "Best Couple" or "Best Individual" dancer.
Don't forget to explore the silent auction throughout the day, where you can bid on experiences like the Yard Takeover and Clarity Experience. The day wraps up with awards for the most creative, most engaging, and most popular vendor booths at 3:30 PM, as well as audience awards for the best-dressed attendees. Trust us, Friday is going to be an unforgettable start to the weekend!
