What is the Block Party?

Haley House’s annual Block Party is a celebration of the Haley House community, our South End neighborhood, and the beginning of summer in Boston. 

Every year, our community gathers on Montgomery Street in front of our Soup Kitchen on the first Saturday in June for an afternoon of fun and friends.

 

All proceeds from this special event support our many Haley House programs.

The Event

The Block Party always features food, entertainment, and activities for kids. Take a stroll down Montgomery Street in front of our Soup Kitchen and meet neighbors, experience musical and dance performances, grab a snack, check out our silent auction, and enjoy a summer afternoon with the Haley House community!

Some of our previous partners include local acts JP Honk, Floor Lords, and Community Music Center of Boston! We hope you’ll join us for valuable time spent in community.
