Ain’t no party like a summer block party!

Just a reminder that applications are still open for the Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing’s Summer Block Party Grant! As Boston celebrates Boston 250 and prepares to welcome the global community for the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, the City is eager to showcase its community spirit, shared fandom, and the vibrant energy of its neighborhoods. Summer block parties strengthen Boston’s ongoing commitment to being a City of Belonging and foster a fun, safe, and healthy summer in Boston. Residents and community groups who apply for a block party grant can receive up to $750 to purchase food, party supplies, lawn games, and other items for summer block parties to make it easier and more affordable for neighborhoods to hold community gatherings. Last year, the Office of Civic Organizing (OCO) provided 113 grants to residents and community groups hosting block parties. Get all the details here.
