The avenue closes and the whole block comes out. Free food, bouncy houses, games, face painting, a magic show — all of it free, all of it for us.
The Albany Avenue Block Association is neighbors looking out for neighbors — on our own block, with our own hands. Here's what we do together.
Our annual summer block party and the back-to-school giveaway that sends every kid off ready.
Neighbors out on the avenue keeping our block clean, planted, and something to be proud of.
Chess, dance, basketball and mentoring — programs that give our young people somewhere to go and someone in their corner.
One voice to City agencies for safer streets and real resources for the families who live here.
Two of those youth programs, and the neighbors who run them.
Learning the board, the pieces, and how to think a move ahead — a room of kids at a time.
Young dancers learning choreography together, one class at a time — and nobody sitting out.
Every summer we close the avenue and open it up to each other. Our 4th Annual Block Party is Saturday, August 1, 2026, 10 AM–6 PM — presented by Lamont, Prance & Donovan.
For the fourth summer running, Albany Avenue between Church and Linden closes to traffic at ten in the morning and stays closed till six at night. Bouncy houses where the cars usually park. Grills going all day. Face paint, balloon animals, a magic show, popcorn and snow cones — every bit of it free, and every bit of it put on by neighbors, for neighbors.
Come out. Bring the kids, bring a chair, bring a neighbor who doesn't know about it yet. If you want to help set up in the morning or break down at the end, tell us here — that's how this thing runs. Note the date: we moved from July 18 to August 1.
We've got almost no pictures from the last two years — they all stayed on people's phones. After Saturday, send us yours and we'll put the 4th Annual up on the wall where it belongs.
Free school supplies, food, and fun for every kid on the block before the first bell rings.
Every summer these three get the permit filed, the avenue closed, the bouncy houses in and the grills going — then keep it running till the sun goes down.
On the flyer you'll see presented by Monty, Prance & Donovan — Monty is Lamont. This is them.
Double dutch in the middle of the street, bouncy houses where the cars usually are, and the whole block out at once. Photos from our 2024 block party.
Got better ones? Send us your photos and we'll add them. Are you in one of these and want it taken down? Just call or text and it's gone — no questions.
