Despite weather feeling like sub zero temperatures with flash flooding, over 2000 people flocked to Princes Gardens in Prahran last Saturday for a Converse Block Party.
Punters enjoyed a day of live music and entertainment with Fool's Gold Records DJs "Flosstradamus" (Chicago, USA), "Nick Catchdubs" (NYC, USA), and local MC's Illy and Phrase rocking the house with their sets.
The Viva Prahran Skateboarding competition brought together some of Australia's best skaters to battle it out for the $7000 cash pool. Congratulations to Converse riders Bryce Golder and Cam Holling who took home some beer money.
On the other side of the park, street ball was played on some slippery courts which made for interesting viewing, the slippery surface causing players to go A over T! Congratulations to those teams that reigned (the other type) supreme in the 3on3 basketball touranments. Young Money (Open Division) and Full Court Street Press (Media & Retail) took out the titles, taking with them great prizes, a highly sought gold trophy shoe, and most importantly- home court bragging rights!
Crowds enjoyed local chow from The Taco Truck and Jerry's Burgers, and were entertained by local break dance and skipping crews. For those unable to avoid a shop, there was a treasure or two to be found in the vintage flea market.
Thanks to those who braved the weather to come down, I'm sure you enjoyed it as much as we did. Look out for the event video coming soon.
