This Saturday, September 25, is the first day for one of those events: the Rockin' Burger Block Party.

The Rockin' Burger Block Party will feature more than a dozen different sliders at each party including a coffee-crusted beef short rib burger and a shrimp and scallop burger topped with Thai slaw and cilantro-lime mayo.

The parties start at 7 p.m. at the World ShowPlace Events Pavilion.
