Village of Neighbors School’s out, weather is finally great, Music in the Park is in full swing and Libertyfest, our annual July 4th celebration is just around the corner.

In the Midwest, after a cold winter, we know how to celebrate summer! There is no better way to spend a summer Saturday or Sunday afternoon than with an old fashioned Block Party. So break out the lawn chairs and the grills and take these summer days to get to know your neighbor.

Statistics say that in communities where people know and interact with their neighbors, the neighborhoods are safer and more stable. Plus it is just fun!

C o m m u n i t y

There is no cost for Block Party permits which you can pick up at Village Hall or from our website, www.bensenville.il.us.
