Celebrate What’s Right: Activating a Vibrant Downtown

We want to see more Memphians coming Downtown – not just to work, but to play, explore, and engage in community. This conversation will feature one-on-one interviews with leaders who are shaping the cultural identity of the city’s core. We’ll discuss strategies to increase neighborhood vibrancy, build infrastructure, spur development, and ultimately, bring more people Downtown to enjoy the arts, culture, public parks, and other amenities that make Downtown Memphis distinct. With key projects underway, this is an opportunity to celebrate investments in civic assets and consider what’s next for our city’s front porch.

Celebrate What’s Right is powered by: BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Kroger, Duncan Williams Asset Management, Bass, Berry, & Sims, and Downtown Memphis Commission
