A neighborhood block party is the opportunity for neighbours to get together, meet each other, have fun and work together on a common activity. Getting together with neighbours for a warm evening of fun is not only enjoyable, but also fosters greater connection among the people in your area. This connection helps increase the wellbeing of everyone involved and also helps everyone feel a sense of safety and belonging.
