​Block Parties on us! Grants for Block Parties information here! 

​

For Block Parties, MWIA will underwrite the cost of the City Permit and provide up to an additional $100 for food (not including alcohol) and supplies.

 

It is not required that you hold your Block Party in the street, thus eliminating the need for a permit.  If someone wants to host the entire block in their yard, that is acceptable.

 

After the event, you will be asked to submit your receipts, at least three photos, and a sign-in sheet of neighbors who attended.
