Broad Channel neighbors enjoy a great big community block party, one of the first since Hurricane Sandy. Photos by Dan Guarino.Nobody throws a block party quite like Broad Channel, and they proved it again this year.
Barbecues, bouncy rides, games, water slides, live music and more came together for the big community bash on Saturday, July 18.
The neighborhood celebration stretched for several blocks and a little bit more along Church Road, from Noel Road to East 10th Road.
Under shaded tents, BC residents enjoyed burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other summer foods, all prepared and served by neighbors. A live band and carnival games also added to the afternoon, while neighborhood children enjoyed two huge inflatable water slides, a bouncy castle and a dragon ride.
Later on they were treated to popcorn and cotton candy.
Noting that the block party was a regular event before the hurricane, one woman said “It’s good to have this back,” as she chased after a laughing, barefoot child in a bathing suit.
