Alive After Five (evening event)
From "Community Building"
Go to the project
In many cities, the downtown area is a hub for the community to gather together and spend time on evenings and weekends.
If the city were to work with downtown business owners to participate in an "Alive After Five" event, where community members were encouraged to come "shop the downtown" after 5 pm, would you participate? What would make you want to come to such an event regularly?
Would you like to see this on all weeknights? Just Fridays and/or Saturdays? Or just one other night of the week?
If you are a business owner in the downtown area, would you consider opening your shop in the evenings or one evening a week to participate in a community gathering event? If yes, what do you think would help make it successful? How could you contribute?
