Porch Parties

One of the things that helps provide a sense of community in Seminole Heights are Porch Parties
Neighbors get together at each other's houses for potluck meals and BYOB and BYOC (Bring Your Own Conversation. Generally there is a core group of people who come to each porch party and as each porch party is held at a different house in the neighborhood, neighbors around the host house also come. Some of these neighbors then go on to participate in the succeeding porch parties.

Each Association in Seminole Heights has porch parties. Some on a monthly basis and some on a quarterly basis. In last year or so, as the 3 neighborhood associations have gotten closer together, people have been crossing boundary lines ands going to the other association's parties.

Southeast Seminole Heights has its porch parties the first Friday of each month. The next one is on June 3rd at 920 E. Shadowlawn at 7:00 P.M.

Next week is the Old Seminole Heights Porch Party.

Spring Porch Party
Friday, May 20th at 7:30pm
5306 N. Suwanee Avenue

Please bring a snack or beverage to enjoy!

In addition to the above the Lake Roberta area in Old Seminole Heights has its own porch parties/family dinners.

If you belong to the South Seminole Heights email group, you will be advised of their porch parties.

it was a porch party that got me interested in the neighborhood association and ultimately involved in the 'hood. i think they are a great opportunity to meet people and share war stories. also, they're kind of like mini-home tours where you can sneak a peek at reno ideas (or decorating).
