Best practices for block party organization

[StellaEJ]

I'm taking on block party organization for our street this year and could use some advice. What are the most important things to consider when planning a block party? I'm thinking about permits, street closures, activities, food, and safety. Also, how do you handle the inevitable conflicts or concerns from neighbors who might not be as enthusiastic? Any tips for making sure everyone feels included and the event runs smoothly? I want this to be a positive experience that brings our street closer together.
