Block Party
Best display by a group of neighbors
Better together.
About this category
Block Party is for neighbors who team up. When two or more neighboring homes coordinate their displays, the whole group can enter together as a block party.
Judges look for a unified look that's bigger than any one house: matching colors, a shared theme, lights that flow from one yard to the next, or a light show that runs down the street. The more the homes feel like one display, the better.
