A Special Look into Springfield's The Block Party with CLF Network!

Executive Director Benjamin Wilkinson will be speaking at our August dinner meeting about the region's largest free community celebration: Springfield's The Block Party!
Most of you have probably seen Ben around town in his Springfield hat talking about the greatest block party you'll get to be a part of. We're bringing him straight to our members and guests, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and get the inside scoop on all things Block Party.

In its seventh year, The Block Party has grown from a scrappy Main Street experiment into one of Lane County's most beloved annual traditions, drawing 15,000 neighbors in 2025, generating over 1.33 million impressions for local partners, and cementing itself as the region's destination community building event. Springfield's The Block Party 2026 features live music, local food, family activities, community organizations, and more, all free, all on Main Street, and all very Springfield.

Mark your calendars for the Party on September 12th, and make sure to stop by CLF Network's booth where we're handing out thousands of dollars in prizes!
