Some lovely weather is here and Civic Life has put together some steps for hosting an event in your community! See the steps below and check out Civic Life's Community Building Resources webpage for more helpful engagement resources.
- Get volunteers – Find folks in your community who are interested in helping organize an event. Check in with your neighbors as you go for ideas and help with solving problems.
- Pick a date and time – Find a day that works for your community and check the other events happening in your area.
- Register your event and apply for permits – If your event includes blocking off the street, use of a park, or amplified sound, it may require permits. Registering your event could help you get free permits and other perks.
- Organize food, activities, and entertainment – Party planning can get expensive, but there are many ways to cover costs; a pot-luck style party could help spread the cost among the attendees.
- Communicate with neighbors – Post on your neighborhood social media page, put up flyers, start a text chain and Include the necessary information about the event.
- PARTY!

At the City of Portland, we want to understand what messages can make it easier for Portlanders to say yes to biking to get around town. Whether you currently bike or not, take this short survey (about 10 minutes) to tell us what you think and help inform future transportation planning and community engagement. The survey is open through Sunday, June 15 and all answers are anonymous.
