In an effort to provide greater resources for community members to gather together, strengthen relationships with one another, and continue to enhance the partnerships between neighborhoods and the City of Gastonia, a new initiative has been made available to Recognized Communities through the City’s Alliance for Community Enrichment (A.C.E.) program. Beginning in January 2024, formally Recognized Communities have access to the new A.C.E. Block Party Trailer program.
Packed full of outdoor games (including cornhole, giant Connect 4, giant Jenga, and much more), picnic tables, chairs, and sound system, this Block Party trailer will be ready to come to your community and be a FREE resource for your next neighborhood social or gathering.
The City of Gastonia believes that a strong city is a result of having strong neighborhoods. As the A.C.E. program comes alongside communities to better understand concerns, goals, and desires ofneighborhoods, the program also encourages community building through initiatives like the Block Party Trailer, Movie-in-a-Box, and grant opportunities.

Please note that availability of the Block Party Trailer will be based upon a first-come, first-serve basis. As well, some dates may not be available due to limited staffing or other community events. Recognized Communities can reserve the Block Party Trailer only one time per calendar year, unless approved by program administrator.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The trailer will be dropped off the Friday before your block party and will be picked up the Monday after. Applications must be received at least 30 days prior to your block party. Pick a weekend and see if the trailer is available for your use – just email your request to Tyler.Davis@gastonianc.gov!
