Cotton Candy Clowns provides block party rentals and live entertainment for block parties in every NYC borough including the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester, Staten Island and Long Island.
A block party or street party is a fun event where everyone from the local neighborhood or community gathers to celebrate an important event or simply to have a party! Usually, an entire city block is shut down to vehicle traffic to provide the space needed for all the concession food stands, large party inflatables, dunk tanks and of course the people! Block party entertainers include clowns and costumed characters who perform magic tricks, provide face painting, and create balloon animals for the kids. Often, block parties are held to celebrate holidays such as Memorial Day or Independence Day. Many communities will hold an annual block party some time during the warm summer months when a dip in a dunk tank is a welcome relief from the heat.
Did you know, block parties originated right here in New York City? Originating on the East Side during World War I, an entire city block would be roped off, patriotic songs would be sung and parades would march by to honor the members of that block who had gone off to war. Back then, you could get away with hosting a block party without a permit because of the unusual times, but these days you absolutely NEED a block party permit from the city. So be sure to get that permit early and then give us a call to book your party with us!
Our block party entertainment rental packages take the work out of planning your block party. We can customize any package to your specific event. Call us at 917-714-4963 to get a custom quote.
