Street parties are a fun, social way to get to know your neighbours and make your street a safer place to live.

Choose a Location
The City of Darebin has over 130 parks and reserves that would be ideal for a party. Visit Parks and Reserves to find one suitable for you. Other alternatives could be a driveway, front lawn or shared space.
Food
A barbecue is a great way to bring people together. SPAN Community House has light, portable barbecues available for hire. Visit the Parks and Reserves page to find out which parks have barbeque facilities.
If you plan to sell food and drinks, it is necessary to obtain a permit. You must complete the Temporary Food Stall Permit at least three weeks prior to the event. Visit the Food Stalls page for details.
