Hosting a Neighborhood Block Party — It’s Easier Than You Think!

June 9, 2025

Close your eyes and picture this: it’s a warm July evening, the grill is fired up, the smell of burgers fills the air, the sun is setting, kids are laughing, neighbors are chatting, and new friendships are forming.

There’s no secret recipe for a perfect neighborhood block party. All you really need is:

  • Happy people
  • A grill master
  • Tasty side dishes (here’s some we love!)
  • Good music (check out our summer playlist favorites here)
  • A few yard games (cornhole and KanJam are always hits)
  • And let’s be honest—some homemade ice cream never hurts

So what are you waiting for? Talk to your neighbors and see who’s in. Pick a date and time, and suggest a simple potluck where everyone brings a dish to share. Set out some chairs, press play on your favorite playlist, and let the good times roll.

Remember, it only takes one person to get the ball rolling. Once you take the first step, others will follow. Here’s to summer nights, new connections, and block parties that bring the whole street together.

I met Michelle while helping her move her neighbor out so my buyers could move in—instant connection! 💫 Since then, I’ve had the joy of helping her sell, buy, and sell again. Any day I get to cross paths with Michelle is a good one! 💚💚💚
