Events › Civic Saturday

Stop doomscrolling. Start connecting.

Join us for Civic Saturday, a new initiative that is sweeping the nation and fighting isolation. Rooted in ritual, Civic Saturdays seek to blossom a sense of civic pride and a commitment to deepening community. Success in Akron, Seattle, and elsewhere have inspired us in Montgomery County to take up the torch and light a fire of fealty to our civic values.

What is our goal?

to celebrate community

to foster civic power

to practice rituals of civic belonging

to create joyful neighborhood gatherings

What will we do?

listen to short snippets of landmark US literature

sing civic songs together

create new connections

hear from local leaders
