Cultural Programme
Cultural events are events designed for entertainment and enjoyment of a more or less wide audience. They are events of some importance related to some branch of art, culture or values. These events aim to propagate and disseminate cultural themes. Creative place making, and cultural programming are becoming increasingly popular economic development strategies.
Neighborhoods and local cultural organizations are banding together to transform their cultural attributes into
celebrations that attract people into the area. Cultural programming has been shown to help revitalize communities by
increasing economic investment and strengthening social ties among residents. Creative place making also brings people
into an area, helping reduce crime and improve the perception of safety in a neighborhood. Cultural programming can
take many forms, including: festivals, monthly arts and music events, open studio sessions, celebrations of cultural and
ethnic experiences unique to an area
