Keeping up our more than thirty-year tradition, the 2000 block of Luzerne Avenue will be closed from 2-8 on Monday, September 3 for Labor Day.

Wander on by–it’s pretty low-key, but it’s a fun opportunity for kids to play in the street and grownups to get to know our neighbors. 

Libby Sander is coordinating a potluck, so let her know if you can bring food to share or a table and chairs.

And if you have some ideas for fun things to do, now’s the time to organize them.

During the years the block party has changed a lot–some years there are lots of activities. Some years it’s just been a chill time to relax. The folks who used to organize it are stepping back to allow a new generation of leaders to come forward and make it their own. So think of it as a blank canvas that you can fill up with sidewalk chalk (which will be in plentiful supply).
