NNO Reminder! The deadline for registering your event on-line and blocking off your street for FREE is JULY 14! After July 14, the fee will be $100 to block off the street.
You may register right up until August 3 for any non-street or alley-blocking event. Register on-line using this link: https://apps.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/blockeventapp/

Also: Some have called regarding the on-line form not allowing you to select a street that is not red-lined. Be sure you try to click on the actual line of the street you’d like to block off first. If you have trouble getting the system to recognize the street or avenue you wish to block off and it is NOT highlighted in red, you can call 311 to have your event application filled out over the phone. (612-673-3000 if calling from outside Minneapolis.)
But do give the on-line system a try, over 500 events have been registered to date without any trouble; about a half dozen have experienced computer difficulties.
If you have had an NNO event on a block that is now red-lined on the registration map, please email us at with your block information and brief description of your NNO event ideas and we will see if we can work something out!
Lastly: NNO ackets, including the “Caution” tape if you are blocking off your street, will begin going out by mail the week of JULY 19. If you registered on-line and do NOT receive your packet by July 29, call 612-673-3082, or email with your name, phone, and the block you are having your event on included in the note or voicemail.
Late registrants (after July 14): You may have to visit your precinct station to pick up your packet. Except for the door prizes and tape, most of the material we will email out as well so if you can forego the door prizes and are not blocking off a street or alley, you can still register your event and we’ll email materials you can print out.
