Block Parties
Every year the City of Tulsa has a
citywide Block Party Day. These block parties provide a good way
to get together and meet your neighbors. Block parties can vary
from elaborate celebrations complete with children's activities to
small picnics. The Department of Working in Neighborhoods can
arrange for visits from the Tulsa Fire Department and the Tulsa
Police Department, and provide barricades to block your street
during the party. This year, the Citywide Block Party date was
September 19, 2009. If your neighborhood is still planning on
having a block party, please register your
block party online here.

undertake tasks to clean and beautify, organize events and block
parties, and to meet to discuss challenging issues. A few are
leaders who mobilize and coordinate the efforts of all, tackling
jobs in the neighborhood that will ultimately inspire others to act
and result in more pride, a new energy and renewed enthusiasm in
the neighborhood. Read more...
