DOWNTOWN DREAMIN’: SPACES REIMAGINED

A 21+, one-day, pop-up celebration of art, music, food, and community designed to let you Live – Work – Play, all in one vibrant space.

This year, Downtown Dreamin’ transforms a downtown space into a full-day, pop-up urban playground, open from Noon to 8 PM. Stop by on your lunch break, work from our coworking area, and then come back for dinner, drinks and live music! Or stay all day and find curated experiences to help you explore what is possible, downtown-style.

Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025

Noon – 8:00 P.M.
Civic Center Plaza

This 21+ event brings people together in unexpected ways, celebrating what happens when a public space becomes a stage for possibility.

*A portion of all proceeds from the event will support the Downtown Partnership’s Public Spaces Foundation and its efforts to improve the public realm through creative, community-driven investments in our city’s shared spaces.

Come see what the future of being America’s Outdoor Downtown could feel like… just for a day.
