The Dean Street Block Association is having a block party on Dean Street, between 6th and Carlton Avenues, on Saturday (6/21) from Noon to 6PM. Per an email:

Join your Dean Street neighbors as we party in the street between 6th & Carlton Avenues. Break out the BBQ grill, cooler and lawn chairs! Invite your friends and family to chill in the street as the block will be closed to traffic all day! Enjoy food and music, games and activities for kids, including a Moonwalk, face painting, and a clown! Tour our firehouse and an ambulance! These were big hits with the kids last year. Donate to our fund-raising flea market (where you might also find a great deal), or whip up a batch of your famous cookies for our bake sale! Proceeds from last year’s block party were used to help beautify our block with window boxes and flowers. Of course, cash donations are always appreciated.

Those who wish to volunteer or donate something can contact rbk888 [at] aol [dot] com or tc [at] 3c [dot] com.
