Rice Howard Way Entertainment District

The Rice Howard Way Entertainment District is in full swing this summer. Every Saturday from 1 PM to 9 PM, Rice Howard Way (101 Avenue & 100 Street) will be closed to vehicles as it transforms into a summer block party series.

You can pop into any of the businesses along the block and grab an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage to bring out on the street.

You may not consume your own outside alcohol within the district. Only alcohol purchased from one of the licensed establishments within the Entertainment District is allowed.

Like any other city patio, smoking is not permitted in the district.

Last call for grab-and-go beverages at all participating businesses is 8 PM.

Where can I buy an alcoholic drink on Rice Howard Way?

 

Where can I get family-friendly cheap eats and drinks?

There are plenty of delicious and accessible eats for the whole family. You can order for takeout and bring it out on the street.
