To Build Stronger, Closer Neighborhoods, Cambridge Makes It Easier To Host Block Parties
It is now easier and cheaper to host block parties in Cambridge. The City is eliminating the block party permit fee, providing free party games, and offering $200 cash awards (limited supply) to support celebrations.
Block party potlucks and games bring neighbors together for fun, but the parties also help build more connected, resilient neighborhoods.
