The atmosphere at the MTV VMAs pop-up block party was electric and inclusive. The event, which was held outside the Oculus Center, exuded a sense of excitement among attendees. Scattered throughout the grounds were vendors that ranged from selling custom MTV merch to offering delicious food from local eateries. There were plenty of photo opportunities as well. Attendees could choose to pose with the iconic MTV Astronaut mascot, pretend to DJ at a turntable, or even snap a pic of a mural depicting a stylized MTV logo, which was painted live during the event.

The party’s musical lineup was nothing short of energetic. Featuring music sets from three rising artists, Amaarae, Alexander Stewart, and Jenna Raine, these entertainers gave just as much energy, if not more, as they received from the crowd. Between each of the three performers, there was something for every music lover to appreciate. In between each artist’s set, you could listen to DJ CherishTheLuv while interacting with some of the event’s activities. The addition of mini golf, cornhole, and connect four only added even more fun to the musically filled good vibes. Catch the 2023 MTV VMAs tonight at 8 P.M. ET/5 P.M. PT on MTV and Paramount+ and the pre-show begins at 6:30 P.M. ET/3:30 P.M. PT.
