Our Downtown Cumberland Business Association in partnership with the Allegany County Historical Society is presenting a fun independent event in Merchant’s Alley set for today. Rock the Block is all about the 1980s, featuring two great bands – Milk Mountain from Frederick and The Reagan Years, the East Coast Original 80s tribute band out of Hagerstown. Cartridges Galore is turning back the clock with a Tetris competition and Coney Island Weiners is holding a hot dog and French fries eating contest. The event has an approved event permit that includes closing Pershing Street for the main stage and an open-carry alcohol permit.
