How to apply to host a block party:
- Fill out the online application.
- When your application is received, a City staff member will be in contact within 2 business days. They will advise you what areas will be affected so you can fill out the neighbourhood consent form. This is to show that you have the support of at least 50% + 1 of your affected neighbours.
- Once your event has been approved, you will be given a contact in Roads, Parks and Forestry Department to arrange for street barricades and other supplies.
- Plan your party and have fun!
Block Parties are a great way to bring your community and neighbourhood together. While you do need an application for a permit, the Festivals and Events office would be happy to help you through the process.
