Night to Unite / Block Parties

Block Parties & Special Events

Block Parties are a great way for neighbors to get to know each other and to build community anytime. Requests for Public Safety attendance should be requested at least two weeks prior to your event and will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Staff will confirm availability five days before your event.

NOTE: Due to staffing limitations, we are only offering visits from our Police Division for block parties and other special events. EMS Fire personnel or vehicles will not be available.

Request Public Safety to Visit your Block Party or Event

Night to Unite

Public Safety encourages neighbors encourages residents to plan block parties, potlucks, ice cream socials, barbecues, bike parades and children's games on Minnesota Night to Unite. Held annually on the first Tuesday in August, the event provides an opportunity to meet new neighbors and establish stronger connections with Public Safety.

Check back in summer 2023 for more information about Night to Unite 2023, including how to invite Public Safety to your event.

Blocking off Streets

It's important to remember that some roadways in Woodbury cannot be blocked off in anyway to impede the flow of traffic. To search if your location allows this, access the Block Party Location Search tool:

Enter the house number closest to the location of your block party in the search field of the tool and select the correct address from the drop-down options that will appear.
If the map shows the roadway is green, you are allowed to place temporary barriers during your party (see the note that follows).
If the roadway is red in color, blocking off the roadway is prohibited.

Note: If your street allows for it and you choose to cordon off any portion, barriers must be placed as such to allow for emergency vehicles and residents needing access to the area.
