Bronx Defenders' 2009 Community Block Party

160th Street between Courtlandt and Melrose Avenues, the Bronx The Bronx Defenders Community Block Party is a fun, safe venue for children and community members to enjoy free food, music and entertainment, play games, participate in arts and crafts, register to vote, compete in a basketball competition, and connect with local community groups and important social service organizations. This year, the Block Party will have performances by local groups, a raffle, a turntable DJ, face-painting, clowns and balloon animals, a pony-ride, relay races, carnival games and treats, and a moon bounce! We will provide information on our services for community members about criminal matters, family court involvement, or civil-legal issues, and our partnering local community service groups will be providing medical advice and information, immigration help, affordable housing info, and much, much more!
