Midtown Brandywine’s Annual Block Party 2023

by | Oct 9, 2023 | Events Committee

Hey Everyone! The annual Midtown Brandywine Block Party is coming up Saturday October 14th 4-7pm. This is the biggest neighborhood event of the fall season and the one we all look forward to!

After we shut down the block of 14th Street between Tatnall and West, we will be setting up tables and chairs, bringing out the backyard games like cornhole, and serving up ribs — courtesy of “Bea,” another meat dish and a vegetarian dish. We’ve got some great raffle prizes lined up and a family friendly playlist, or DJ, for dancing, because YES!

Everyone in the neighborhood is invited – we need you to make it a success! We count on you for contributing your family’s favorite side dishes and desserts! Even numbered houses, please bring a side dish. Odd numbers, desserts. No need for a jumbo quantity! We encourage you to help our neighborhood fundraise by buying raffle tickets and silent auction items. Bring your favorite backyard games to challenge your neighbors!
