Our neighborhood really came together in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene so we decided to commemorate the anniversary of that tragedy by coming together to celebrate the community that we’ve created.
This is a small event, limited to the residents of Jackson Park neighborhood. We are not prepared for hundreds of people so this is NOT a public event.
Everything you will need! This is a “Bring Your Own” event so bring your chairs, food, and beverages with you. We will have some large tables setup but you’re welcome to bring a table as well.
Please use your best judgement. Do not bring any grills or open-flame devices, no weapons, no alcohol, no pets, no inflatables, etc.
We want neighbors to feel safe walking up and down the street during the event.
If you are houses between 16 Barnard to 98 Barnard Ave you will be affected by this closure so we encourage you to park at the end or top of the street so you are not impacted by the road closure. If this is not possible, please contact us at BarnardAveBlockParty@gmail.com so we can come up with a plan together. If you have a personal emergency and have to drive through the road closure unexpectedly, we will work together to clear a safe path as quickly as possible.
We will have an emergency action plan, as required by the city. If you have a personal emergency and have to drive through the road closure unexpectedly, we will work together to clear a safe path as quickly as possible.
If the rain is light we will try our best to still have the event. However if its heavy extended rain, we cannot have a rain date because of the street closure, so we will cancel and try again next year.
YES! We will now have a porta potty on site!
We will do our best to accommodate accessibility needs with ample notification of your requirements. Please email BarnardAveBlockParty@gmail.com to let us know what you need and we will try to coordinate for you.
