Planning a neighborhood block party? The City of Arlington has a new Block Party Trailer filled with picnic tables, ice chests, games and other party needs available for free to registered neighborhood groups.

The goal of the Block Party Trailer is to advance community engagement goals in the American Dream City by providing a fun way for neighbors to get together.

Eligible groups must submit an application to reserve the trailer at least 7 days before their scheduled event. If approved, the trailer will be dropped off the Friday before the party and picked up the Monday after.

The trailer contains picnic tables, folding tables, chairs, water coolers, ice chests, trash and recycling cans, games, street barricades, cones and more.

A launch event for the Block Party Trailer, which aligns with the City Council priority to Champion Great Neighborhoods, will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, May 20 during the Food Truck Friday event at Levitt Pavilion.
