Lumberjack Weekend Block Party

Set against the vibrant backdrop of campus, this year’s Block Party brings together an unforgettable lineup of contemporary soul, funk, and vintage-inspired sounds. Headlining the evening, Durand Jones & The Indications deliver their signature blend of timeless soul and modern groove. After more than a decade of global touring and acclaim, the band continues to evolve, channeling themes of growth, connection, and homecoming through their richly layered sound.

Joining them are East L.A.’s own Thee Sinseers, a dynamic ensemble known for their lush harmonies, full brass section, and a sound that seamlessly bridges classic soul traditions with fresh, modern energy. Their performances have captivated audiences nationwide, bringing heart, nostalgia, and innovation to every stage.

Also taking the stage, The Altons add their distinct voice to the lineup, alongside crowd-favorite HISpanic! At the Disco, ensuring a full evening of rhythm, movement, and celebration.

Enjoy food trucks, carnival games, and more while soaking up the fun. Come for the funk, stay for the festivities — it’s a party you won’t want to miss!
