It’s that time of the month again, when Tampa Heights’ Franklin Street corridor between I-275 and E Estelle Street gets activated for a fourth Friday summer night block party complete with live music, art, vendors, food and more.

Tunes this month come from DJs Blenda (soundtracking the drink & draw), Sirius and OP Supa while the stage hosts rapper Albert J., electro-pop duo Fantastical Tigers (supporting a new single, “Dust”), poet D-Rod and others. Work from Ali Arnold’s Labyrinth Studios, Scumbag, and more is on display in the vendor area, while Milli Misa and Jannetteology open their “Bright Side” art show at Cafe Hey.
