Our Biggest Lift: Downtown Sounds
Downtown Sounds started in 2004 as a small gathering hosted in an alley, turning the underutilized space into something extraordinary. And extraordinary it became.
Looking back at 20 years, we reflect on Downtown Sounds being born with a simple yet powerful goal: to bring vibrancy and vitality to our community through music and cultural engagement. Over time, this event has not only achieved its initial objective but has also grown exponentially, captivating both locals and visitors alike. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of arts and culture in fostering a strong sense of community where people live, work and play. As Downtown Sounds approaches this 20-year milestone and beyond, we recognize the opportunity to elevate the event’s exposure, capacity, infrastructure, and marketability for years to come. We cannot do this alone and invite your business to be part of history by helping support two decades of music, community, and summer fun in 2024!
