Block Parties

The City of Lenexa does allow block parties on selected residential streets such as a cul-de-sac or non-through streets. The street can be closed between 9:00am and 10:00pm. All barricades and obstructions should be cleared from the road by 10:00pm.

Procedure: The applicant will be requested to furnish their name, telephone number, address, desired location, date, and time of the proposed block party. If the location is approved, the resident will be required to use two (2) approved traffic control barricades at each street closure location. These Type III Barricades will be delivered to the site the Friday before the party and picked up on Monday. The Barricades will need to be moved to the street during the event. Upon approval, the resident will be required to call the Lenexa Police Department @ 477-7301 the day of the Block Party for schedule confirmation.

All persons participating in a block party must abide by all laws and City ordinances, including, but not limited to, the regulations on noise contained in Article 3-9-E-3 of the Lenexa City Code. Approval of a block party permit by the City shall not authorize any person participating in a block party to create any noise otherwise prohibited by law.

Fees: $25 rental fee for the Type III Barricades

Contact: Residents should contact Terri Ogilvie or Deb Madsen @ 477-7680, Public Works.

If desired, a police officer may be able to stop by with giveaways for the kids and crime prevention and safety information for the adults. Also the Fire Department can come out and share information with you. Both of them are available if they don’t have a prior commitment.
