PHOTOS: World's Largest Block Party

Moshpix: The 26th annual World's Largest Block Party got off to a raucous start Friday night in the West Loop. The annual bash, which continues on Saturday, benefits the Center for Social Concerns -- but with an entry fee that gets your five free drinks, not to mention performers like the Barenaked Ladies and Kris Allen, it's easy to forget that the money's all going to a good, non-bacchanalian cause.
