Alumni run record label hosts festival

Cayla Kelton

Community Records’ Annual New Orleans Block Party will be held on Saturday, Oct. 25. The festival is headlined by punk and power-pop trio Screaming Females and co-headlined by Community Records’ artists Caddywhompus, Donovan Wolfington, All People and Sirens.

Community Records is owned by Loyola alumni, Greg Rodrigue A’08 and Daniel Ray A’08.

Typically held outside at the Big Top Art Gallery, this year the festival will be held at the newly-renovated Carver Theater — the first time the block party has been indoors — and will feature 15 touring bands and seven local bands.
