In this blog post, we’ll give you tips on how to throw a great block party and suggest some party equipment that will up your game. Choose Date and Location The most important decision you’ll make is picking a date that works for most of your neighbors. Think about the time of year and the weather, and don’t forget to check with your community’s homeowner association (HOA) if you have one. Choose a central location, like a cul-de-sac or a common space, that’s easy to access and has plenty of space. Make sure you also inquire with your city or local municipalities to see if any permitting is needed. For example, we know Denver and Boulder both have permit requirements.
