What is your budget for this event:
Social or cultural benefits:
The Curl Bar is a Black and Woman owned business looking to
celebrate our third year anniversary by having our annual
Block Party. Our block party will bring together clients, family,
friends, and the community of Somerville and surrounding
communities. We are looking to celebrate with but not limited
to; activities for kids such as a bouncy house and even the
local tattoo shop, Pearl Street Tattoo has offered to do face
paintings, local food trucks, and vendors from small
businesses throughout Somerville. We will also have a Dj +
other stations throughout the event.
Financial benefits:
Vendors will be able to sell, advertise, and promote their
business to the community in attendance. Along with this, I will
also be highlighting all the vendors via social media and a
brochure which will be passed through the community of
Somerville and surrounding communities' prior to the event.
Food trucks / local catering will also be in benefit by exposing
themselves to potential new clients and selling their food.
