Be a Block Participant

Organizations are invited to share their mission, passion and message to over 75,000 visitors each year at the annual In The Streets festival.

With such a large built-in audience, there is no better way to raise awareness for your organization!

Block Participant Requirements

• Each organization is eligible to reserve either a 10′ x 10′ space or a 10′ x 20′ space.
• Each organization must provide an interactive demonstration.  Preference is given to groups that are able to develop an interactive component that relates directly to their organization.
• Each organization will be assigned a location within the event based upon which of the nine themed blocks at In The Streets they best relate.
