Victor M. Lopez Jr. Aka Young Emeljay, alongside his team and his organization What Hoboken Sounds Like, together with the newly expanded What Jersey City Sounds Like, proudly presents the 3rd Annual Summer Blockfest: Hip-Hop Festival & Community Celebration — happening Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 770 Jackson Street in Hoboken, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM (Rain Date: Saturday, August 9th). Now in its third year, Summer Blockfest has evolved into one of Hoboken’s most anticipated grassroots festivals—a powerful, day-long celebration of Hip-Hop culture, community pride, and creative expression. What began as a bold local initiative has grown into a recognized cultural movement across Hudson County, connecting two cities through sound, style, and spirit. The past two editions of Summer Blockfest transformed Hoboken’s Southwest neighborhood into a thriving hub of live Hip-Hop and R&B music, art, fashion, and youth empowerment.
