The City of Arlington first launched the Block Party Trailer in 2016. Since then, there have been 208 block parties hosted by 121 different neighborhoods, 87 of which have used the Block Party Trailer. The trailer is available for free to neighborhood groups, contains picnic tables, folding tables, chairs, water coolers, ice chests, trash and recycling cans, games, street barricades, cones, and more. 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.

The Office of Strategic Initiatives is hosting a drawing for one lucky neighborhood to win the Block Party Trailer for its National Night Out party this October.

You can read more about the drawing and learn how to participate in the latest edition of the Champion Great Neighborhoods newsletter. All quarterly City Council priority newsletters are produced in a digital format, allowing for layers of additional video content and important links.

Other updates include information on the City’s Tool Sharing Program and the Rotary Club of Arlington’s dedication of a new public art piece in Downtown Arlington.
