Activations

Local professional event planners will be paired with community development organizations to support the creation of new, or enhancement of existing, cultural festivals and celebrations along the selected commercial corridors. The goal of the activations is to engage current residents, attract new visitors, promote local businesses by driving foot traffic and visibility, and build the capacity of the supporting community organization. These community events will be featured in a robust calendar of 2026 events spread across every neighborhood engaging residents where they live and providing memorable experiences that create lasting impact.
