(COLUMBIA, MO) ~ Columbia, MO - The City of Columbia is bringing the community together with a series of informal block parties this summer. From June to July, residents can enjoy food, music, and games while connecting with City staff and learning about City services.

The idea for these block parties came from feedback received at the City's first Community Summit in March. Attendees expressed a desire to engage with City leaders and Council members in their own neighborhoods. Many suggested block parties as a fun and approachable way to interact and learn from one another.
