4. types of block parties:
Your organizing committee can determine which type of block party will work best in your
neighbourhood;
•
barbeque – organizers purchase all that is needed and neighbours provide money
or everyone brings his/her own meat.
•
picnic – everyone brings their own meal.
•
potluck – everyone brings one dish. Even # houses could bring dessert; odd # houses
could bring salads or main dish.
•
catered – everyone shares the cost and the food is purchased.
Try not to go overboard; it can make people feel the event is too much work. Keep it simple!
5. location:
If at all possible, use a common public space. This will increase the likelihood of shared
responsibility for the event. Safety for all participants needs to be an important factor when
determining location.
note: If you intend to use the street in any way, City permission is required through the
application process and the street must be officially blocked off.
