Bring UBP to Your Town
We are thrilled with the interest we have received to bring the Ultimate Block Party to cities, towns, and communities across the country and even around the world. Hosting a Block Party is not only a fun and worthwhile endeavor but also a tremendous community building opportunity. In the planning and preparation of the event, we have seen local children’s organizations and museums come together to share their expertise and importantly their shared passion for kids and play. Academic institutions have come to the table, providing support and instruction as to how best to promote the science of play and its impact on learning. Community organizations have also expressed interest in supporting the effort.

What is important to each Ultimate Block Party is the science behind the play and the message to parents, caregivers and educators that play is integral to children’s healthy growth and development.
