Whether you’ve lived in your neighborhood for years, or you're new to the ‘hood, a Summer Block Party is an exciting way to reunite your squad and meet the neighbors! Let [GigMasters](https://www.gigmasters.com) help you plan the most popular event of the summer!  **![Block Party Food!](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Block%20Party%20Food.jpg?width=350&name=Block%20Party%20Food.jpg)** **Menu **The key to a block party is keeping logistics as simple as possible, so no one person is stuck being the “hostess”. To keep the party going, hire food trucks to cater hands free. The possibilities are endless! Mix up the food with a pizza truck, taco truck, and a truck with barbecue! With all of these options, even the pickiest of eaters will be guaranteed to find something they like. And, keep the food trucks rolling through night by hiring an ice cream truck to come by for dessert! The best part? No scrubbing pots and pans or cleaning grills at the end of the party - more fun for everyone!        ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/block%20party%20drinks%201.jpg?width=300&name=block%20party%20drinks%201.jpg)  ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/block%20party%20drinks%202.jpg?width=300&name=block%20party%20drinks%202.jpg) **Drinks **The name of the game here is hydration. Have each family be responsible for bringing a different juice or soda, along with water to make sure no kid (or adult!) goes thirsty throughout the day. For the adult beverages, you can take a potluck approach and create a “[booze barrow](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/Aci4yWoMui6iPlI0IoBHeb2bJMPdBoXtfWHUoU2RdqUkP1m0sNtPEMM/)” with beer and wine to cut down on the cost. Have everyone bring some to share! Keep hard liquor and specialty drinks hands off by hiring a [bartender](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/bartender) for all your cocktail needs. The bartender will keep the booze flowing all night! ![block party fire dancer](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/block%20party%20fire%20dancer.png?width=300&name=block%20party%20fire%20dancer.png) **Entertainment & Extras  **This is the part of the party where you can **really** get creative! Every block party absolutely needs a [DJ](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/dj) to keep guests on their feet all night long! Other than a DJ, the entertainment can be as unique and random as you please. During the day, hire a [magician](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/magician) for the kids, and a [comedian](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/comedian) for adults to keep the laughs rolling. In the mood for a bonfire and s'mores? Add a [fire dancer](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/fire-dancer) to pack the heat. Want to give people something to hold onto after the party is over? Book a [caricaturist](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/caricaturist) to give the whole neighborhood something to take home with them. Along those same lines, fun pictures from a [photo booth](https://www.gigmasters.com/services/photo-booths) are perfect party favors. All these extras and entertainment are an amazing way to create memories with the people you love the most.
