This hands-on workshop is designed for entrepreneurs, creatives, and community builders interested in activating public spaces through events. Attendees will gain valuable insight into the process of hosting events in parks, streets, and other public areas, including the necessary permits, planning tools, and available resources.

Our partners from the City and DGRI will share financial support opportunities and resources available to help bring your vision to life. Whether you’re planning a cultural celebration, pop-up market, or block party, this session will equip you with the knowledge to execute it successfully.
