North Kansas City residents may apply for a grant to host a neighborhood block party. Each grant will reimburse eligible expenses up to $200 per event. Eligible expenses include food, paper goods and entertainment/performers. Ineligible expenses include alcohol, tent and stage/riser rentals.

Block parties must be approved by the City Council by means of a short-term conditional use permit. Neighborhoods may receive the block party grant once per year. For more information, visit www.nkc.org or call 816-274-6000.
