A Block Party hosted in collaboration by local agencies will take place at Truckee Regional Park on Saturday, Sept. 21. Representatives from community agencies will be stationed at booths from 11a.m.-2p.m. to provide updates and answer questions on local health, safety, environmental and capital improvement initiatives.

“Past block parties have been hosted on a much smaller scale by neighborhood,” said Brandon Perry, Truckee Donner Public Utility District administrative services director. “This year we’re hosting the event at the regional park so everyone can come out, take advantage of a great opportunity to interact with local agency representatives, and access programs and services.”

Block Party festivities will include educational booths, a Lions Club barbecue lunch, as well as cardboard and electronic device recycling station.
