The 2023 Block Party was a great success! Thank you for all of those who helped out and attended and donated their time and money, especially to the Good Trouble Bass Band who performed for us!
A special Thank You to all of our sponsors this year who helped us raise $1220 for the Somerville Homeless Coalition, a new record! This is a new record, and thanks to very generous matching donations, $3,660 will be going to the Somerville Homeless Coalition!!!

Irving Street has a permanent exhibit of mosaic stones made in-memory of Karen Edlund, a long-time resident of the street and a founding board member of the New England Mosaic Society. Learn more about Karen and the exhibit or download a map.
If you are interested in making more, contact Emily Bhargava for details. The substrate has to be stone or cement, and the adhesive has to be thinset or silicone, and the tiles have to be frost-proof (non-absorbent).
See the new collection of historical stories, photos, and historical maps as well as a tool for comparing maps. Please contact Erik if you have anything to add.
We have weather and air quality stations on the street! Check out hyper-local weather and air quality:
