Reservations for Jumping Jack Program Starts April 19

Get jumping and reserve the Jumping Jack for your summer block party today.

CHICAGO, IL No block party would be complete without the city’s ubiquitous Jumping Jack to entertain your kiddos. Starting April 19, applications will be accepted to bring the Jumping Jack to your neighborhood soiree.

Jumping Jack bookings go fast so be sure to reserve your date now. Only online applications through the City of Chicago’s website will be accepted. Before you make a reservation, here are few things to keep in mind:

  • The Jumping Jack Program runs from Saturday, May 27 through Sunday, August 27, 2017.
  • Jumping Jacks are limited to Residential Block Parties within the city limits of Chicago. Private parties, church picnics, or other community events do not apply.
  • Jumping Jacks can ONLY be requested for Saturdays and Sundays, with limited availability. If a date is not listed in the drop down menu on the application, no more Jumping Jacks are available for that date.
  • Applications are available on a first-come-first-served basis

Please do NOT send applications to the 19th Ward service office. Get jumping and reserve the Jumping Jack for your summer block party.
