Curate core memories.

I have a million reasons for doing what I do—but at the core is passion. That passion fuels every project, draws in committed partners, activates local businesses, creatives, and volunteers, and brings thousands of people together to connect, celebrate, and experience their city in a meaningful way.

Each project takes months—or years—of thoughtful planning, collaboration, and focus. It comes to life through the collective energy of our team, sponsors, partners, and local community. And in the end, the real magic is seeing people discover something new, support local businesses, experience art and music from local talent, and fully enjoy and celebrate the place they call home or are visiting.
