The Canlis restaurant is hosting its fourth annual surprise Block Party for the neighborhood this Sunday, August 15, from 12 to 3 p.m. at Little Howe Park/East Queen Anne Playfield (located at 1912 Warren Ave N).

The restaurant, which celebrates 60 years on the hill this year, says the party is a way of getting the community together for a fun time and saying thanks.
The Block Party will be stocked with free burgers, prepared on-site by Canlis staff, shaved ice, live Hawaiian music, face painting, and a special appearance by Queen Anne firefighters.

And following tradition, the party will culminate with an epic tug-o-war battle between Canlis and the Queen Anne neighborhood. (See pictures from last year’s block party here).
Last year the Canlis Block Party raised over $1,700 for the Queen Anne Helpline. This year all proceeds will benefit the Queen Anne Farmers Market.
Swing by the event, or follow the action on Twitter at #CanlisBlockParty and @canlis.
