If you're still feeling the fever of Kentucky winning the national men's college basketball title, the Big Blue Block Party will keep your team spirit alive.

Starting at 6 p.m. Friday, Cheapside Park's Fifth Third Bank Pavilion in downtown Lexington will be hopping.

The first-ever Big Blue Block Party is free. It's set to feature food and drinks from Goodfellas pizza, Bellini's, Kentucky Ale beer and Four Roses bourbon; music by Bluejay, Daniel Griffin, Dale Stumbo and DJ Daddy; and booths from local businesses.

There will be block party T-shirts for sale to benefit Sunrise Children's Services in Louisville and Beloved, an anti-sex-trafficking-group in Lexington.

The party is scheduled to end at 11 p.m., but music will probably continue a little later, organizers said.

Cheapside Park is at Main Street and Cheapside.
