The Block Party, hosted by Destination Ann Arbor and the Main Street Area Association, is intended to attract those associated with the NTI to the downtown area to experience the amenities and attractions that make Ann Arbor the perfect location to continue this program for years to come.
The sponsors agree to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, to comply with all City regulations governing the use of the streets and will reimburse the City for all event expenses.
Notification of the street closings will be provided through the City's website, GovDelivery and also through communications made through the Ann Arbor Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, MLive and digital flyers sent to county-wide participating hotels, restaurants and merchants.
