11 Creative Ideas For A Community Event That'll Bring Everyone Together

4. Putting on a fundraiser

Communities help one another in times of need, so join together and host a fundraiser for a good cause. Fundraisers come in all shapes and sizes, like auctions, raffles, and games with financial prizes. If you live in Boston, host a community fundraiser in this luxe Seaport District gallery and event space.

5. Have an outdoor game day

Healthy competition is a great way to bring community together. All ages can participate in soccer, lawn bowling, water fights, sack races, giant games of checkers – play whatever you like. If you’re gathering in Southern California, outdoor game days are ideal, since you are sure to have good weather almost all year ’round. You could hold the community event in a public park or rent a beautiful outdoor venue like this Los Angeles-area oasis and farm.

6. Stargaze together

Another outdoor community event that will bring everyone together is stargazing. Watch astronomical calendars for special astral happenings, like eclipses and comets. Book this unique natural acreage in northern Montana near the US border with Canada, and you might get lucky and catch the aurora borealis. Gather some telescopes and serve hot cocoa – the Milky Way awaits.

7. Clothes swap

Recycled clothing is all the rage, and clothing swaps are a surefire way to get the community together. Gather donations using social media – or actual face-to-face communication – about a month prior to the swap. Try to have all sizes of clothing available, including kids’ and infants’. Check with your community members to see if they have loaner clothing racks and hangers.

If not, you might be able to source some from your Peerspace venue’s local host. Host in a space with lots of mirrors and a changing area, like this Vancouver event loft studio.

8. Film screening

The community that watches movies together, stays together – isn’t that what they say? No? Well, it might be true. Give it a try and book this barn-turned-event space in Austin. It has indoor and outdoor space for 130 and has hosted movie screenings and other community events.
