Update related to Covid-19

PBOT’s Portland in the Streets team has temporarily paused our Block Party program in response to our current Covid-19 public health crisis. We remain committed to all the ways we use our public space for community building and connection, even if we can’t do what we normally do.

We will continue to monitor public health and other bureau priorities in determining when we are able to offer this program. To keep up to date on when the program will return, or to learn about other Portland in the Streets programs:
