A street party can mean any type of social event taking place on a road.

In Britain, these have historically been held to commemorate momentous events, such as VE Day or the Queen's Silver Jubilee, with "bunting, trestle tables covered with sandwiches and cakes, and children playing in the street". An estimated 10 million people took part in street parties in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee.

The British tradition began at the close of World War I as "peace teas" to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

For the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in April 2011, about 1million people mainly in England and Wales held street parties in 5,500 closed roads and in informal events. This was less than expected due to the spring date. More are expected to be held for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June 2012.

Now street parties are held annually and at any time for residents to meet their neighbours in a traffic-free street in a private street party. Some 'street parties' are public events taking many forms. In the USA either can be called a 'block party'.
