Rainbow Grocery is turning the big 5-0, and they’re throwing a massive free outdoor block party to celebrate. The streets around Folsom & Trainor will be shut down for an afternoon of live music, food, over 25 local vendors, giveaways, games, art activities for kids, and community booths.

Expect everything from fresh juice and mocktails to vegan cheese, kimchi, biscotti, and hot sauce. You’ll also find local radio stations, co-ops, and artists selling their work. There’ll be kid-friendly art stations, puzzle games, chair yoga, and plenty of chances to score free samples and swag.
