Host a Community Block Party

Step 1.Select a date for your party

Determine the day you and your neighbors want to close the road for a party. Remember, block parties must begin during daylight hours and end before sunset.

Step 2.Contact your neighbors

Closing the road can be an inconvenience, so we ask that you get permission from the majority of your neighbors to have your party. The City needs to see written permission from at least 51% of the households on your block to close the road. We recommend using this form as you create your petition.
