Block parties

KVIS Block Club Committee encourages you to consider having a Block Party.  Some Village blocks have a long history of block parties, but quite a few don’t. There are many reasons to consider having a block party but none more important than having fun together with the people who live near us. Block Parties range from a very simple gathering of neighbors to a large event with bounce houses and other entertainment. No matter what type of block party you decide to have, there are a few things you should know to help make your party a success!

Book Your Party
Your Block Party must be approved by the Village Board.  You will need to send a letter of request/approval for the party; the letter must include:
  1. Contact name of person making the request, address, phone number
  2. The date of the party (and the rain date, if applicable)
  3. The time of the party, start and approximate end time
  4. The location of the party (and side street boundaries of your block)
 Please submit your request at least 1 month before the date requested 

Plan your party
Your party should be a representation of your block, an event that’s fun and enriching for all. Listed below are some Block Party ideas to help get you started in thinking about a Block Party. Block Club Committee has a booklet that is filled with planning tips, ideas, themes, and more to help you make your simple or fancy Block Party everything you’d like it to be. Contact KVIS and we’ll get the booklet to you, there’s no charge, we’re happy to help.
