block parties
Neighborhood street celebrations
Block parties are outdoor celebrations held on a residential street, typically closed to traffic for the occasion.
Neighbors gather for food, music, and socializing: The annual block party brings out everyone on our street.
Common in American cities and suburbs, they build community connections and mark summer holidays or neighborhood milestones.
