Applications are open for residents and community groups to apply for grants that cover items like candy, pumpkins, decorations, and face paint—making it easier and more affordable to host neighborhood Halloween or fall block parties. Eligibility requirements: Parties must be free and open to the public. No selling or charging for anything at the event. Events must take place on a public street (not in parks or on private lots). Block parties must be held between Friday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Nov. 2. Themes don’t have to be Halloween-related. #jprentalsandsales #jamaicaplain #roslindale #westroxbury #jamaicaplainrealestate #boston #mattapan #bostonrealestate #bostonapartments #massachusetts #massachusettsapartments #realestate #apartmentsforrent #apartment #apartmenthunting #localnews #bostonnews
