MPAC (Multi Purpose Athletic Complex) has announced a huge lineup for their 4th of July WNC Block Party, to be held on Sunday, July 4th at the North Buncombe High School soccer practice field. The price of admission is an ultra-affordable zero dollars and the event will be taking place from noon to 10 PM. Looking at the musical lineup alone it seems like it is going to be a huge event, but they’re throwing in lots of other stuff like sports demos, a songwriter area, a storytelling area, fashion, food (reason enough to go right there) and they’re recommending you to bring your own instrument for a “pickin’ party”.
MPAC has a fabulous musical lineup with Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, Afromotive, Galen Kipar, Chris O’Neill with Jay Sanders & Billy Cardine, Richard Shulmann,The Red Hot Sugar Babies, Buyaka, Dave Wendelin, the Traveling Bonfires and others tba.There will also be a plethora of performing arts including The Asheville Puppetry Alliance, Asheville Hula Dancers, The AVL Aerial Artists, the Blue Ridge Roller girls and many others.
Also, get a sneak peak fashion preview, “A Taste of PUSH Asheville Fashion Runway Show” for the Fourth of JUly in advance of the PUSH Asheville Fashion Runway Show Benefit for MPAC that will take place on Friday, July 16, 2010 at the Orange Peel.
Also keeping with the MPAC mission there will also be sports demos going on all day in the soccer field adjacent to the stage. Look out for the Weaverville Futbol Club, the Madison and Yancey Counties Youth Soccer teams, Asheville Rugby, Asheville Lacrosse, and High Flight Gymnastics amongst others.
And what Fourth of July festivities would be without Patriotic and Civic activities? MPAC has invited the NBHS ROTC Color Guard and WNC Civil Air Patrol Color Guard.
