block parties

A block party is a social event where residents of a neighborhood close off a street temporarily to host gatherings, festivities, or activities. It typically involves neighbors coming together to share food, music, games, and conversation, fostering community connections. Block parties are often organized for celebrations, holidays, or to promote neighborhood camaraderie, creating a safe and friendly environment while encouraging local camaraderie and engagement. They can be small or large and may involve permits from local authorities to manage safety and logistics.
