Block Party Bonanza

In 2026, a favorite Philly tradition gets a historic upgrade. PHL250, in partnership with the Office of Clean and Green and the Streets Department, will deliver “Life, Liberty, and Happiness” kits to 250 blocks, filled with themed swag, decorations, games, and gift cards to spark celebration and pride. The 25 finalists in the City’s annual “Most Beautiful Block” Contest will receive super-sized block parties with DJs, treats, inflatables, and more. A citywide call for local vendors will highlight Philly talent and support small businesses, turning neighborhoods into hubs of joy and community spirit.
