It's not an overstatement to say that Calamari's will have an all-star lineup when it hosts the downtown Block Party Thursday, Aug. 27. That's just the benefit of having both the funky, jazzy group The Groove and the Erie All Stars as the music lineup for the night.

Some of Erie's best musicians will be on hand when the two acts put on quite a performance outside of Calamari's. Your ears won't be the only thing the Block Party will benefit, as the event will go to aid The Regional Cancer Center as well. – Alex Bieler
