Organising a street party or fete

Street parties and fetes are a traditional part of community life; they are a simple way for us to get to know our neighbours and meet members of our community

We want to make it easier for you to hold these sorts of local events, without having to plough through mountains of forms and red tape. Communities and Local Government have produced this simple step by step guide on how to hold a community event in your local area. It includes one simple form for you to use to let us know about your plans, so you can get on with the real work of organising a fun event.

Road Closures
If you want to close your street for your party, you will need to apply to our Highways team at least 12 weeks prior to the event, and there may be a charge. Please register your interest by phoning them on 01582 510333.

Queen's Diamond Jubilee
The deadline date for receiving streetparty applications for the Queen's Diamond Jubliee has now passed. You can still try and submit an application but there is no guarantee it will get processed and approved in time.

Further information and the application form is available to download below.

Please send all completed forms to emergencyplanning@luton.gov.uk, alternatively you can post them in to address below.
