does anyone here organize their block's block party?

If so how did you go about starting. I really wanna have a block party and I am willin to do legwork and get it together. I am off summers since I am a teacher and I need to plan something

My neighbor mention they had one block party years ago and since then so many new people have moved in. It seems like a young block and kids.

Should I put a survey on each house on who would be interested and asked what type of company they would have like kids age ranges which then determines what kind of things we can do like get a bouncy thing and stuff like that. Also list possible dates and get a concensus. How does this work? Is there a certain paercentage of signatures u need for a permit to have the party what if people dont participate? and we have it



How much would each family pay do u think roughly to cover a DJ and some other little things italian ices cotton candy etc.... I believe there are 9 houses on the block it is a dead end street so getting the permit should be easy

ANy thoughts or ideas would greatly be appreciated. SOrry so many questions my brain is on overload!
