Do you provide a certificate of insurance for the block party permit?

Yes. We carry full general liability insurance and can name your city, HOA, or association as an additional insured. The certificate is delivered within 48 hours of booking, ready for the street-use permit file.

Do you provide staff to monitor the inflatables during the party?

Yes. Event packages include trained attendants who manage setup, monitor play, enforce safety rules, and handle teardown. Your organizers grill, greet, and meet the officers; we run the units.

Can emergency vehicles still get through with inflatables on the street?

Yes, and we plan for it specifically. The squad car and fire truck visit is the heart of National Night Out, so we place and space units to keep a clear vehicle lane through the block. Tell us your street layout when you book.

Where does the power come from on a residential street?

Standard 110V within 100 feet of each unit, which on most blocks means a volunteer's garage or exterior outlet. If the party sits too far from any house, we bring generators at additional cost.

What do you need from us to prepare?

Your street-closure or park details, the nearest outlet, and roughly how many kids you expect. We handle placement, anchoring, staffing, and spacing from there, and the COI goes to whoever holds the permit.

How far in advance should we book for National Night Out?

The entire metro parties on the same August Tuesday, so this is the most compressed date on our calendar after July 4th. Book by spring for first pick of the fleet. Inside 30 days? Call (763) 355-1023; we may still have availability.

The Block Party Playbook

National Night Out is the one evening the whole metro throws a party at once. Here is the playbook that makes your block the one people talk about at the bus stop. Planning a festival or another city event? See all city events →

One Tuesday evening of block parties across the metro

The One-Tuesday Problem

Every block in the metro parties on the same August Tuesday, and the trucks cannot be everywhere. The blocks that book in spring get first pick; the ones that call in July get a waitlist.

The Single-Bounce Block Party

One bounce house is a whole block party at neighborhood scale. Pricing includes delivery, setup, and pickup, with free delivery on orders over $175 across the metro.

Squad car visiting a National Night Out party

The Squad Car Lane

The police and fire visit is the heart of the night. We place and space every unit so emergency vehicles roll through clean, and the kids get the bounce house AND the fire truck.

Power cord running from a garage at a block party

The Garage-Outlet Power Plan

Every unit needs standard 110V within 100 feet, which on most blocks means one volunteer's garage outlet. Street too long? We bring generators at additional cost.

City coordinating multiple block parties

The Multi-Party City

HOAs and cities organizing several sites for the same evening: call early and we will plan which sites we can cover and what fits each one. The earlier the call, the more blocks get bounce.

The Popcorn Diplomacy

A popcorn or sno-cone machine gives every kid a mission and every neighbor a reason to linger at the table. That lingering is the entire point of National Night Out.

The Stuff Your Permit Office Will Ask About

Permits, insurance, street closures, power plans: block party paperwork is real. Here's how we make our part of it boring, in a good way.

Insurance & permits, handledFull general liability coverage. We add your city, park district, or organization as additional insured and deliver the certificate within 48 hours of booking, ready for the permit file.

Power, planned in advanceWe need standard 110V outlets within 100 feet of each unit. Park with no power access? We bring generators (added cost), with every unit's draw planned into your event's power map.

Multi-zone coordinationWe've set up across multiple zones at parks like Boom Island and Andover: coordinating with your event map, working around vendor placement, and spacing units for safety and foot traffic.

Staffed, not dropped offPublic event packages include on-site attendants who manage the units, enforce safety rules, and handle issues. No volunteers needed at the inflatables.
