Build connections with neighbours, foster a sense of community and improve local safety and awareness by hosting a block party this year. Richmond-based neighbours (two individuals not living in the same household) can apply for funding of up to $500.00 through the 2025 Richmond Neighbourhood Block Party Program. The application deadline is September 29, 2025.
Block parties can take place in a variety of spaces including parks, on local streets or on private property in Richmond. Examples of neighbourhood block parties that may be eligible for funding include welcome parties, a barbeque or a picnic.
Block parties that receive funding are required to:
- take place in Richmond between May 17 and Oct. 13, 2025;
- demonstrate alignment with program objectives, including creating events that build and strengthen a sense of community in Richmond;
- demonstrate a commitment to implementing sustainable practices in the delivery of the event; and
- be free to participants.
In addition, applicants must show evidence of their capacity to host a block party and show a realistic estimate of the resources needed and the total budget required.
Application forms must be submitted a minimum of six weeks before the proposed block party date. To learn more about the Richmond Neighbourhood Block Party Program and submit an online application, visit richmond.ca/BlockParty.
