7/11 - 7/12 Summer nights come alive at Doylestown Block Parties!!

Doylestown Borough is once again transforming its streets into a lively outdoor dining experience along with outside shopping, live music and even games as the Borough Block Parties return for their fifth year. This popular weekend event, launched in 2020, has now become an annual summer tradition.

The first Block Party weekend of the year took place May 3 and 4 on N. Main Street (State to Court streets). From now through September the Block Parties will be held on alternating Fridays and Saturdays during which time different downtown streets will be closed creating pedestrian-only zones from 5 pm to 11 pm. 

Restaurants spill out into the streets with expanded seating, while local shops often stay open later, sometimes displaying racks of merchandise outdoors.

The Block Parties have grown significantly in both size and popularity. “We close the streets and give these businesses a blank canvas of what to offer, and they’ve really used the opportunity to provide additional family-friendly attractions like hiring outdoor musicians. It’s great.”

The events rotate locations to give various businesses on different streets in the borough the chance to participate. The impact of the Block Parties is felt throughout the borough, not just by business owners, but by residents and by out-of-town visitors. 

Reservations are recommended for dining; guests should contact restaurants directly. Final seating is at 10 pm. The Block Parties are sponsored by Doylestown Borough and continue to grow in popularity each year, promising an exciting 2025 season.
