Community Highlights

In the months leading up to the festival, our community partners have launched targeted programs to ensure the event benefits local neighborhoods and small businesses. Below are some initiatives and stories from recent activities.

Outreach & impact

Our outreach team visited over 40 local eateries and micro-producers to introduce vendor support packages. These include discounted stall fees for community-driven vendors and free training sessions on hygiene and cashless payments.

Volunteer training

Weekly volunteer training sessions covered topics such as crowd management, first aid basics, and waste station operations. More than 200 volunteers have signed up to support the festival this year.

Local arts collaboration

We partnered with neighborhood art collectives to commission live mural works that will be installed during the festival — these murals aim to capture the region's culinary heritage and community stories.

These combined efforts help ensure the festival not only entertains but also builds capacity and creates long-lasting economic benefits for local residents.
