Host a Neighborhood Block Party

As part of the city’s “Give Your Car the Summer Off” campaign, Mayor Greg Nickels made it easier to get a permit for block parties or events.

The city eliminated the usual fee, shortened the application deadline from 45 days to 14 days, and simplified the application.

You can get a free neighborhood block party permit this summer and close your street to traffic as long as you:

• Do not live on an arterial street
• Do not close your intersection
• Do not have a bus stop on your block
• Clean up and restore your street before 10pm
• Do not request more than one block party per month.

For an application, go here.

Do it on your street!
