ational Night Out (NNO) is an annual community building campaign that 

promotes police‐community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie 

to make our neighborhood safer, more caring place to live.  

NNO is designed to: 

•  Create positive relationships between neighbors and the police department 

•  Generate awareness about local crime‐prevention efforts 

•  Promote safety and security initiatives  

•  Celebrate having a good time with neighbors       

During the event, Dallas residents are asked to turn on their porch lights, lock their 

doors and spend the evening outside with their neighbors, neighborhood police 

officers (NPOs), civic groups and businesses.  NNO events and activities include but 

are not limited to: cookouts, block parties, neighborhood safety walks, games, 

contest, safety demonstrations and visits from emergency personnel. 

NNO has proven to be an effective and inexpensive way to promote neighborhood 

pride, police‐ community partnership, and public safety. 

When is National Night Out? 

Nationally, NNO is held the first Tuesday in August.  However, in Texas, NNO is 

held the first Tuesday in October with most events taking place for a couple of 

hours in the evening.

NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK PARTY PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

Department of Street Services Traffic Safety and Congestion Management 1500 Marilla Street, Room L1-B-S Dallas, TX 75201 FAX (214) 670-3292

What is a Neighborhood Block Party? Neighborhood Block Parties are events produced by a community-based, not-for profit organization/association requiring the temporary closure of a single block of a street within a single-family residential area.

Can I have a Neighborhood Block Party at my business or apartment complex? Block party permits will not be granted to residents of an apartment complex or owners of a commercial property. However, if the event is moved out of an apartment complex and onto a commercial property or City park the owners may obtain a Special Event Permit from the City of Dallas Office of Special Events (www.dallasspecialevents.com).

How do I apply for a Neighborhood Block Party Permit? Neighborhood Block Party Permits are issued through the Department of Street Services, Traffic Safety Coordinators. The City of Dallas does not charge a fee for these permits, but does require a completed Block Party Petition to be submitted ten (10) business days prior to the event by fax (214) 670-3292 or mail.

What are the requirements for a Neighborhood Block Party? □ A single block party cannot consist a gathering of more than 200 people. If the gathering exceeds 200 people, it is

considered a Special Event and will be required to move to a City Park or commercial property outside of the residential neighborhood. Requirements and regulations are governed by the Special Events city ordinance Ch. 42A.

□ Any person requesting a block party permit will need to print the appropriate City of Dallas petition form. The form can be found at (www.dallascityhall.com/pwt/transportation_operations.html). No other petition form will be accepted. Fill out the following information:

Petitioner’s name, address, telephone number and/or email address

Block Party date, including the start and end times (block parties cannot extend beyond 10PM)

Estimated number of attendees

Cross streets at each end of the block closure (block closures must extend from one cross street to the next cross street and not impact any traffic signals - no mid-block block parties allowed)

Petition must include a list of the house numbers within the block closure and a signature from each presiding resident (the petition must be signed by 100% of the residents living within the block closure)

Petition must be submitted ten (10) business days prior to the event

□ State-approved barricades and signs are required to close City streets. It is the responsibility of the Petitioner(s) to secure the appropriate barricades and signs. (The City of Dallas does not provide barricades or signs).

A minimum of two (2) barricades 6 to 8 feet in length with orange and white reflective diagonal stripes shall be placed at each end of the block closure.

One (1) sign with white reflective background and black letters with the message “Road Closed” or “Street Closed” shall be placed at each end of the block closure.

Most block parties will require four (4) barricades and two (2) signs - no home-made barricades and/or signs are allowed.

Some private companies that rent barricades and signs are:

American Barricade Company (866) 918-0003 Buyer’s Barricades (888) 535-3939 Cowtown Traffic Control (817) 924-4524 Crossroads Barricades & Signs (817) 759-1199 Dallas Lite & Barricades (800) 755-5791 Highway Technologies (972) 278-6800

What are the restrictions for a Neighborhood Block Party? □ Cannot block a City street that is a thoroughfare, has a bus route or a traffic signal light.

□ Must maintain a fifteen (15) foot unobstructed emergency lane within the block closure.

□ No alcohol can be consumed on City right-of-way. The sale of alcohol is prohibited.

□ No entertainment allowed on City right-of-way – must be on private property only. City’s Noise Ordinance, Chapter 30 Sec 30-1, prohibits loud and disturbing noise or vibrations to the ordinary sensibilities of the inhabitants of the city.
