Block parties are excellent for bringing your neighborhood together and letting everyone get to know each other. The perfect block party boils down to meticulous planning. From the food and entertainment to port-a-potty rentals, ensure you account for every detail. As you begin the planning process, keep the following in mind for a fun and memorable event.

Block Party Planning Tips

1. Get Everyone Involved

A block party is a large-scale, multi-faceted event. The first step to throwing a successful one is by not trying to take it on yourself. Talk to your neighbors to garner interest and volunteers—start with the ones you know. Between you and the volunteers, divvy up the preliminary workload. Establish a date and location, secure necessary permits, and decide on the food and entertainment for the event.

2. Promote the Event

Ensure everyone in your neighborhood knows they’re invited. Create fliers that inform people of the date, time, and location of the party, and put one on each home in the neighborhood. Include contact information if they have any questions. As you and your team drop by each house, bring a signup sheet if you’re doing a potluck. Do this one to two months in advance to ensure a solid turnout.

3. Rent Port-a-Potties

Convenient restrooms are often overlooked in party planning. Port-a-potty rentals ensure that no one has to walk back to their house because they had too much punch or soda at the party. Having a well-stocked restroom onsite makes it easier for partygoers to take care of business quickly and get back to the festivities.
