Block Parties
Block parties are a great way to meet the neighbours. I organized one for the first time last year for the Kitsilano Carfree Days.
I had to get 50% of the people on the block to sign a form from the City saying they approved.
I kept it pretty low-key and allowed things to happen - e.g. some people wanted to have a yard sale - so that happened fairly early.
I did a craft (balloon lanterns) with kids
and someone set up a street hockey game.
Mainly we ate and drank and chatted. It was great fun!
We'll do it again -2600 Block West Fifth this year - June 20.

Hello Mary
The latin community in BC is organizing a festival for June 5 "El carnaval del Sol"
and since I live Kits and i love it too! We were hoping to close the street as well.
But I am not sure if it is to close to your date, or if you think that there is any other area where we can have it as well??
here is my eamail just in case you want to reply directly to me
