Best vibe-maintainers: Samurai Del and the Mariner Moose
Day 2 of Block Party got going with Samurai Del on the main stage, opening Saturday with a lively performance that sent energy through the audience and all the way to Neumos, the epicenter of the festival. The Block Party felt fuller on Saturday, while early-Friday crowds were a bit more sparse at the get-go. The energy was buzzing, and even our local baseball mascot joined the fun: Mariner Moose was spotted taking photos with fans on the blocked-off streets.
