This exciting, full-day community event celebrates Tony’s love for music and the joy he brought to everyone around him. Live bands, food trucks, delicious food & drinks from The V Spot, basket raffles, 50/50 drawings, and a whole lot of fun will fill the day with unforgettable energy. The bands will be performing from the outdoor showmobile, their music will echo throughout the block and serve as the highlight of the event—which is why we chose the name “Rock the Block.” It’s a celebration that’s equal parts rock concert, community festival, and heartfelt tribute. You can expect a whole lot of dancing and fun!
Since The V Spot sits right in downtown Scranton — just a short walk from where Tony grew up — attendees can literally see his childhood home from the event location. It’s a full-circle moment designed to bring together friends, family, and the local community to rock out for a cause, in the place his story began.
Rock the Block is crafted to be both family-friendly and high-energy, with something for everyone — whether you grew up with Tony’s music or are discovering his legacy for the first time.
