Do I need a Residential Block Party Permit?

Any gathering of neighbors within a community in the city that wish to close streets for no more than 4 hours must submit a block party permit application.

• How do I submit a block party permit application?
The block party permit application can be found here.

• Do I need barricades for my block party?
Any event that will close a city street for any given amount of time will require the event organizer to obtain No Parking signs and City-approved Type 3 Barricades. These barricades can be rented from the Department of Parks, Recreation and Events. All block party organizers are responsible for picking up and returning barricades for their block party. Barricades can be reserved by submitting a Department of Parks, Recreation and Events Equipment Rental Form.

• Who can I contact if I have questions regarding filling out the block party permit application?
Please contact Heather Hughes at hahughes@fredericksburgva.gov or at 540-372-1086 x307.
