A celebration of people, place, and purpose. |
Your presence and energy reminded us what makes Summit County so special- the people and partnerships driving creativity, connection, and community forward.
The Cultural Plan our community created together reflects all that contributes to our quality of life: from the cultural experiences that inspire us, to the parks, performances, festivals, and gathering places that bring us together. It’s a reflection of a community that values imagination, belonging, and collaboration. Thank you for showing up for this work and for one another. Together, we’re shaping a vibrant, resilient Summit County where creativity and connection remain at the heart of who we are.
