Cities thrive because of great neighborhoods, and you are what makes a great neighbor. When we know and engage with the neighbors on our block, we help create a welcoming and safe place for everyone. One way to know your neighbors is to have a block party.
Need help planning your party? We can help! Sign up for planning assistance.

To make holding a Block Party even easier, the City has the Block Party Trailer that includes all of the "infrastructure" a party needs, like tables, chairs and games. Reserve the trailer.
The Block Party Trailer includes
- Six 8' tables
- 30 folding chairs
- Traffic cones
- Lawn games
- Cooler
- Buckets of chalk
The Block Party Trailer is free primarily to neighbors in HOAs, Neighborhood Associations, and Crime Watch Groups in the City of Anna. Reserve the trailer at least 10 business days before your event.
