Part of our mission as a nonprofit organization to celebrate Fairfax and its communities extends to placemaking. Placemaking is not a new idea, but has become a focus locally as a way to re-imagine and re-invent our community. The process for placemaking puts community participation at the center of the effort. The end goal of placemaking is to create quality public spaces that contribute to everyone’s health, happiness, and well-being. To learn more about placemaking, visit pps.org.
Placemaking is happening in Fairfax County! The PARC at Tysons is our new space that launched in July of 2021. This multipurpose space creates inclusive events and experiences around People, Art, Recreation, and Community. The PARC hosts events, Shop Local Markets, exhibits, Block Parties, and more. There are numerous opportunities to engage at The PARC- as a maker, partner, food truck vendor, artist, performer, or volunteer. Learn more about The PARC, events at The PARC, and art at The PARC.
