Partnering with Cities to Activate Public Spaces
California Culture Festival works with cities and public agencies to design and deliver safe, community-centered activations that bring people together and increase engagement in public spaces.
We specialize in cultural programming, community events, wellness-based activities, and public space activation that help transform civic spaces into welcoming community destinations..
