Catalyst's 'Party on Pine' block party returns to downtown Long Beach March 28

A roughly 26-second hype reel set to a rap track, under the banner "Catalyst is throwing the most viral event of the year 'Party on Pine.'" It cuts between nighttime crowds under the Historic Pine Avenue sign, a DJ at a tent, vendor booths, partygoers dancing and posing, a woman in a crown and a man rapping into a mic. It ends on the event flyer with the date, hours and sponsor logos. The audio is song lyrics, not speech.

Party on Pine was back. In a promotional post on March 23, 2026, Juice Unlocked announced that @catalystforthepeople was bringing the event back that Saturday, March 28.

The flyers billed it as a downtown Long Beach block party on Historic Pine Avenue, running 4 to 9 p.m. The post called it "about to be VIRAL" and said anyone who came the year before "already know."

What was on the bill

A second flyer shown in the video listed live DJ sets, food, entertainment, local businesses and brand pop-ups, under the line "Supporting local businesses," with a row of sponsor logos.

The main flyer is an illustrated, wrestling-themed poster of a packed Pine Avenue under string lights. A man in a yellow "Elliot Rules" tank top and a woman in a "Long Beach" tank top wearing a championship belt lead the crowd.

Know before you go

The post did not list ticket prices, an age limit or a performer lineup. For details, it pointed readers to @catalystforthepeople on Instagram.
