This sign up sheet is part of a new Downtown Activation Plan designed to bring steady foot traffic, energy, and community experiences to the Kirkwood corridor and Courthouse Square in downtown Bloomington. The goal is simple: create consistent monthly programming that encourages people to come downtown, explore local businesses, and stay awhile.

Each week of the month features a different kind of activation including food and retail promotions, family friendly activities, and live music. Businesses can participate in ways that fit their capacity. That might mean staying open late, offering a takeout special, hosting an activity, or welcoming a musician.

The idea is to keep things simple for businesses while creating a vibrant, walkable downtown experience.

If you are interested in being part of the activation plan, sign up below to participate in one or more of the monthly events.
