Cambridgeport Block Parties
We want to help you meet your neighbors! We believe life is better when you are connected to your home community, and block parties are a great chance to say hi, enjoy the nice weather together, and have fun on your street!
Beyond fun, the need is also real: Resilient Cambridge is the City's plan to make the city more prepared for and resilient to the impacts of climate change while improving the quality of life and enhancing the city. One of the four components of the plan is Closer Neighborhoods: “Success will depend on the strength and resilience of our social networks: family, friends, and neighbors….” Knowing your neighbors allows you to help and be helped, whether in an emergency or with daily life.
We have volunteers from throughout Cambridgeport who are planning to host block parties throughout this spring, summer, and fall. The CNA will provide tools and resources to support these efforts.
How can the CNA help?
Block parties are independently run, and you are in charge of your own event.
However, we want to support you and are here to help make it happen!
