Bend Block Party

Has the Bend Block Party popped up in your neighborhood? If not, it might soon!

In partnership with the City of Bend, the Bend Neighborhood Districts are hitting the streets to provide neighbors with a way to connect, learn and have fun together.

What is the Bend Block Party?

The Bend Block Party is a neighborhood engagement trailer filled with items fit for a party!

The City has heard from the community that there needs to be more opportunities for community members to engage with each other and local government in ways that are accessible and convenient. The Bend Block Party meets these needs by supporting spaces for neighbors to gather and connect over important topics that shape our community – and with a little fun!

Events utilizing the Bend Block Party must be open and welcoming to everyone in the community. If you see an event with the Bend Block Party – you are welcome to come hang out!

What is in the Bend Block Party Trailer?

The Bend Block Party Trailer comes with a variety of fun items for neighborhoods to utilize at events. The contents are intended to support outdoor events between neighbors and include items like yard games, a sound system, barbeque and more! It’s built for small-medium size events with about 60 chairs and accompanying tables on board. View the entire contents of the trailer in the Bend Block Party Inventory List.

The Bend Block Party is reserved by the neighborhoods recognized in Bend Municipal Code. 

Funding from the neighborhood Community Engagement Grants purchased this trailer to encourage building connected neighborhoods.

Community groups should reach out to neighborhood boards about partnering to reserve the Bend Block Party.

What are Neighborhood Districts?

There are 13 recognized Neighborhood Districts in Bend. Each of these neighborhoods have a board of directors who are elected by the members of the neighborhood.

If you are 18+ and live or own property within City limits, you are a member of a Neighborhood District – you just need to be connected!
