UPDATE: The Halloween Block Party will extend to the parking lot behind Dallas Woody’s at 4011 Cedar Springs Road.
ORIGINAL POST: The 2021 Halloween Block Party, set for Saturday, Oct. 23, is being moved from the street in the 3900 block of Cedar Springs Road to the large parking lot behind S4, TMC, JR.’s and Sue Ellen’s, in that same block, “due to COVID concerns and city recommendations,” said a spokesperson for Caven Enterprises.
Billed each year as “the biggest street party in Texas,” the Block Party will be free and open to trick-or-treaters ages 12 and up. The party will feature live DJs, drag performances, costume spotlight catcalls, food and beer, giveaways and plenty more. Costumes are highly encouraged, and alcoholic beverages, of course, will be available only to those age 21 and older.

And don’t let the move scare you, Caven’s party organizers said, because plans are already in the works to bring back the full-blown street party we all know and love in 2022.

Such bullshit, everything has been ruined in the gayborhood! We might as well just cancel every event in the area !
Why are they making so many changes. I was really looking forward to the block party this year. I haven’t been to the pride parade since it moved. The reason for moving it to fair park was because of construction but the construction is done and they still kept it there. I hope next year everything goes back to how it was, but I am doubtful
I’m old enough to remember back in the 70s and 80s before there was an official block party when all us gay folks just took over the street. I actually preferred it that way before it became an official block party put on by Caven Enterprises. Why doesn’t everybody just take over Cedar Springs again? When there were thousands of people on the street the police couldn’t do anything about it. Except let it happen.
I love this response
I agree with you 100%!
Ruined a good thing, sad sad sad.
Have the event around Halloween. This is 8 days prior and will be a major fail. I hope attendance is sparse.
San Antonio is having their Halloween block party on Sunday, October 31 come join us it’s going to be a blast!
I think I’ll do both Dallas on 23 October and San Antonio on the 31st first
