Block Party Events – 2800nsawyerblockparty

August 2025 Block Party Pictures!

We have a date for the summer block party, August 23, 2025!

We are planning everything now and the events include some of our favorites from the last two years.

We have a mechanical bull ride reserved from 2pm – 5pm! So go find your cowboy hat and western shirt and get ready to see how long you can go. You probably should do some stretching beforehand, too.

Bounce house — We will receive the bounce house between 10am and 2pm. The bounce house will picked up and taken between 2pm and 6pm

Kids tent — Rock painting, pinch pots, games

Dante’s pizza, potluck and grilling, ice cream truck, beer, T-shirts, games, face painting, DJ and dancing, a dance class, piñata, etc…

We hope to get a visit from the Chicago Fire Department with a fire truck, but we’ll just have to wait and see on that…

**We are planning to start at 9am-10am with more of a coffee and donuts type start to the day. We want to provide coffee, tea, bagels, donuts, etc. If you can contribute or suggest anything like that, we would be grateful!
This will also be a great way for people to hang out for a little bit if they are not going to able to hang out later in the day or the evening.

Please consider making a donation before the block party, it would be very helpful. It is the generous donations from our friends and neighbors that pays for almost all of these things.

We will send out messages through email from this website if you provide your email address through the Contact Us page.

Thank you! Barry, Edgardo and Erick.

Halloween 2024

Our Halloween on the block was a lot of fun, thank you so much to everybody for getting involved. It’s great to see so many neighbors get together and do something fun for the kids. And the nice weather doesn’t hurt!
Big thanks go out to everybody, but especially these fine folks, I hope I got all the names right and didn’t leave anybody out!
