Community Created Events


The Community Created Events program supports the public by sponsoring their unique interests and out-of-the-ordinary talents in events and exhibits. You may be delighted to know that you aren't the only person in the region who is interested in events such as: YoYo Championship (pictured above) or Weiner Dog Rallies. Or maybe you'll discover something new at World Rhythm (Percussion) Festival, ArtSpring! (a festival for differently-abled children), or Seeds of Compassion featuring His Holiness, The Dalai Lama.

Community Created Events are designed to provide joy, laughter, inspiration and enrichment for everyone to enjoy! Check out the extraordinary partnerships and events:
