If you need a reason to get out of the house on a Monday night, let that reason be a block party, and no one throws a party quite like Canje. Founded by chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph and Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group, this vibrant East Austin restaurant is hosting its third annual block party with an exciting lineup of local and national chefs, DJ sets and, of course, signature drinks to get the party started.
This year’s culinary guests are celebrities in their own right, including Ashleigh Shanti of Good Hot Fish (Asheville), Ian Corral of Mezquite (San Antonio) and Grace Aguilar of Five O Four (Austin). Each chef will whip up a signature dish packed with depth and creative flavor, so come hungry. Food and drink tickets will be available for purchase on-site for $12 each.
The event is free to attend and runs from 4 to 9pm on Monday May 12. Beats will be provided by DJ Jamie Dred, an Austin-based artist whose sound is inspired by reggae and UK hip-hop.
Planning to sample a little of everything? Take advantage of a limited-time early bird deal: Through May 12, you can snag a pack of five food and drink tickets for $65 on Eventbrite. Parking is limited, so arrive early to find a spot. This is one Monday night Austinites won’t want to miss.
