For the seventh year in a row, the East Village Association celebrates the opening of the MLB baseball season as the San Diego Padres open the gates of Petco Park to host the San Francisco Giants on Friday, April 7.
The free, family-friendly seventh annual East Village Opening Day Block Party will be the ultimate tailgating scene on J Street between Sixth and 10th avenues from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 7, and from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 8.
Show your team pride and “root, root, root for the home team” as we kick off the party with fun family games, activities and much more! Enjoy great food, craft beer and cocktails from delicious local restaurants.
The East Village Association will also be hosting a bike valet at the Do the Ride Thing community booth. To use the bike valet:
- Bring your bike to the Do the Ride Thing booth.
- Your bike will be tagged and you will receive a valet ticket.
- Enjoy the event while your bike is watched by staff.
- Return with your ticket and retrieve your bike.
It’s that simple. Each person who uses the bike valet will receive a free Do the Ride Thing giveaway (while supplies last). Also, enjoy 20 percent off your Uber ride to the block party using code OPENINGDAYSD. Rides must begin or end in East Village between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Valid on Friday, April 7, and Saturday, April 8 only.
