City Special Events

Festivals and Special Events

The City organizes or supports more than a dozen special events and festivals each year that contribute to the vibrancy of our community. These free public events create opportunities for residents to connect with each other through shared experiences and make lasting memories with family and friends. 

These events wouldn’t be possible without the support of volunteers, partners and sponsors. Please consider registering as an event volunteer. You'll meet some great people and have fun!
