Request a Block Party Permit

Step 1.Check your eligibility

• Attendance is limited to a peak attendance of 100 people at any given time during the hours of operation.
• A Block Party Permit is for residential use only, involving gatherings among neighbors in the community.
• The Block Party must be private and not open to the general public. The applicant is responsible for ensuring all attendees are invited guests.
• All residents within the Block Party location must be invited to attend. Personal events and parties such as birthday, graduation, holidays, etc. that only benefit one or two families are not eligible.
• Commercial vending, cover charges, participation fees and sponsorship is prohibited.
• Alcoholic beverages shall not be consumed on City streets and sidewalks.

Permits must be requested at least two weeks in advance of the event. You must create or log into your Eproval account to complete an application. If multiple people need to stay informed throughout the application process, use an email address that they all have access to.
