Block Party Bonanza

In 2026, a favorite Philly tradition gets a historic upgrade. Philadelphia250, in partnership with the Office of Clean and Green Initiatives and the Department of Streets, will deliver “Life, Liberty, and Happiness” kits to 250 blocks across the city. Each kit includes themed swags, decorations, games, and gift cards to inspire celebration and neighborhood 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. To register your business for consideration, click here.
