This morning, before the East Village Block Party officially began, I walked down J Street just north of Petco Park and checked out a bunch of very cool lowrider cars. You can see those photographs by clicking here.
I returned to the block party in the mid-afternoon as it was in full swing!
The huge crowd wasn’t surprising. The San Diego Padres seem more popular than ever. The East Village Block Party celebrates the beginning of a promising 2025 baseball season.
Enjoy some fun photos!
Mariachi Internacional was performing on the stage at the east end of the block party. As you’ll see, they’d later walk down J Street playing their instruments with big smiles.
The pitching game must be tough. I didn’t see a single person succeed.
Lots of Padres fans had their pets along…
Cody Carter and Quartet were performing country music live on another block party stage.
A fun street performer makes passersby smile…
People (mostly kids) were trying their hand at climbing…
A street artist who said his name is James created this cool graffiti East Village art. A dog with a swag chain gets ready for a photo in front of it!
A sign explains how fans helped to replace a vandalized Padres mural in North Park. (You can see the mural that was replaced here.)
Here come the mariachis!
Will the Padres make the MLB Postseason again in 2025? We hope so!
Firefighters at San Diego Fire Station No. 4 give my camera a thumbs up!
