Summer block parties are a time to get to know your neighbors by opening up your street for
a potluck, barbecue, dance party and other creative idea to bring people together.
Summer Block Party Signups
It’s time to start planning for summer block
parties. What better way to get to know your
neighbors than by opening up your street for
a potluck, barbecue, dance party or other cre-
ative idea to bring people together?
The first step is applying for a permit from
the Portland Bureau of Transportation to
safely open your block for people of all ages
to gather, play and enjoy a car-free street.
To that end, PBOT has announced some
changes this year that will make throwing
block parties easier than ever:
