Evil Genius Beer Company is ready to celebrate in a big way. The Fishtown brewery is bringing back its popular “Sprung!” Spring Block Party on March 21, transforming the area under the El into a lively, open-air celebration of the new season.
Taking place from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. along the 1700 block of North Front Street, just outside Evil Genius’ taproom, the event invites guests to day filled with brews, local vendors, food trucks, and community vibes.

Guests can sip on Evil Genius’ signature beers from the outdoor beer tent while taking in the festive atmosphere and reconnecting with friends and neighbors.
“We believe that beer is best enjoyed with good company, warm rays of sunshine, fresh air, and a whole lot of fun,” said Trevor Hayward, co-founder of Evil Genius Beer Company. “We’re throwing this block party to spread positivity, reconnect with our neighbors, and create a space where everyone can enjoy the return of the warmer weather.”
The block party will feature a curated lineup of local vendors and food options, making it easy to spend the entire afternoon exploring and indulging.
