Celebrate democracy with imagination and joy. DC creators host a two‑day civic festival featuring workshops, activations, maker stations, a creator marketplace, free food, and live music.
On July 1-2, join DC's favorite creators and community builders for creator-led activations on photography, business building, design, fashion, storytelling, and health. Explore interactive maker stations, a creator marketplace, and incredible food and music.
Democracy's future is being built right now, in our communities, by creators with the courage to tell new stories about who we are and who we can become together. Podcasters and TikTokers. Newsletter writers and musicians. Visual storytellers and community organizers. This is for every kind of creator building the fabric of civic life, and for every community member who believes democracy is a living, evolving practice.
We are all creators. Libraries democratize storytelling. This is an invitation to tell yours. Hear others. Dream more. Discover the library services, tools, and resources that can help you create — studio space, archives, equipment, and a community that believes in what you're building.
Registration is free!
