most notably displayed with the annual Mifflin Street Block Party and the State Street Halloween Party. The Mifflin Street Block Party, which began in the 1960s as a counterculture event, is today a spring semester finals week kickoff. Both events are commonly attended by tens of thousands of partiers, including many who come from out of state. Following a non-political riot that developed at the 1996 Mifflin Street Block Party, it was forcibly canceled by the city, but was later reinstated. At the 2011 party, two people were stabbed, leading the city to consider banning the party. The city decided to allow it to continue in the future, under a zero-tolerance policy.
