The Movement
The New Yak City Block Party Hosted by One Be Lo takes place at JD’s Key Club in Pontiac, Mi on the first Thursday of every month. JD’s Key Club is located Downtown Pontiac, at 1 N Saginaw. One Be Lo says, “Before this event, we had to drive as far as Detroit and Ann Arbor for this kind of entertainment.” Hosted in Pontiac, this event is ideal for those who live in the Oakland County area, and don’t want to go far on a Thursday night. The NYC Block Party also provide’s a creative outlet for artist’s from all music genre’s, film, visual arts, and dance. By supporting this night, we are also building a strong community network.
We call it New Yak City, because we hail from Pontiac aka YacTown and we want to bring New Hope to a place that we have seen go through many challenges. As members of the artist community here in Pontiac, it is just as important to bring Creativity and positive light not only to ourselves, but our city as well.
The Block Party is where we meet on a regular occasion to network or just catch up with friends, stay current with what’s going on in our community. Every month we look forward to building skills, business and even community.
