Community Block Party

Thank you, Ventura, for making our first community block party a tremendous success! While we have yet to set a date for our 2023 Public Safety Block Party, the information shared below will provide an overview of what to expect.

2022 Overview

In partnership with the Ventura Police Community Foundation, the Ventura Police & Fire Departments are proud to invite Ventura residents to a free, community block party from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2022.
