We've been saying we should do this for two summers. So: grills on the street, a long table down the middle, kids on bikes, music that isn't too loud until it is.

Come for ten minutes or the whole evening. Bring a chair if you have one, and something to share if you can. That's the whole ask.

Hosted by Nate (#412) and The Riveras (#418). Questions: nate@12linestudio.com

Good to know

Do I need to RSVP?
Please. It's how we know how much to grill and whether the bounce house happens.
Can I bring guests who don't live on the street?
Yes. Count them in your numbers so we can plan.
Dogs?
Friendly ones on a leash, sure.
What about parking?
The block is closed from 3pm. Move your car to Maple or 4th before then or it's staying put until 9:30.
