Church of Scientology's January Block Party to Bring Jazz and Family Fun to Clearwater's Cleveland Street
Jazz is a uniquely American art form and the Church of Scientology's January Block Party will feature this genre, and many more.
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (1888PressRelease) January 04, 2018 - In a marriage of two uniquely American traditions – Jazz and the neighborhood block party, the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization will be hosting its first block party of 2018 on Saturday January 27th. The event begins at 5pm on the 500 block of Cleveland Street in downtown Clearwater. Activities include live music, food, carnival games and children’s activities. There is no cost to attend.
“Music has been a part of the American block party experience since these parties started in early 1900’s” said Nicole Biancolini, the director of Church of Scientology sponsored social betterment programs and the organizer of the Block Party. “Jazz became a recognized music genre at about the same time. With Clearwater’s jazz history, we wanted to include jazz as part of the overall musical programming.”
Biancolini said that other musical genres will be represented at the event, which will go until 10 in the evening. The final Block Party of 2017, which was held in November, brought 2,500 people to enjoy family-friendly activities and live music.
“The entertainment is top-notch,” added Biancolini. “We have guests who arrive with their lawn chairs an hour before the block party starts so they can have a great seat.”
The Church of Scientology’s Flag Band is the house band for the event, and they bring special guests to perform with them during the block parties.
The family-friendly activities are another draw, says Biancolini.
“Area non-profits also have booths so that they can promote their work in the community and provide assistance for those who need it.” Participating non-profits have included the Red Cross, Children’s Home Network, the Community Learning Center and Mothers of Minors.
The Downtown Block parties began in 2015 to celebrate with the community the anniversary of the opening of the Humanitarian program centers supported by the Church of Scientology. These centers are located on North Fort Harrison Avenue and include: United for Human Rights, the Way to Happiness Foundation, the Foundation for a Drug Free World, Criminon, the Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers and the Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights. A Scientology Information Center provides videos and displays on Scientology beliefs and the life of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard.
“Throughout the last few years, our humanitarian centers have reached out to and have developed partnerships with churches, schools and non-profits throughout Florida,” said Biancolini. “This event brings the community together to celebrate friendship and collaboration. All are welcome.”
