When asked about the festival plaza
be sure to take the survey at the bottom of this page
85.1% of Windsorites would not consider visiting Festival Plaza when there is no scheduled event
Our goal is to make Festival Plaza a civic destination accessible to everyone all year around
Other cities have done it
Cities of all sizes have done it
How can we do this at Festival Plaza?
Today, Festival Plaza is set-up for only
a few large events
This makes it very expensive for event organizers to run events, and limits whats possible at the site.
To be more useful to the community, all year round, it needs to be able to comfortably accommodate small and medium scale events too.
By designing for flexibility and spaces of different sizes, the number of events that can be held there increases dramatically.
Expanding programming at Festival Plaza has lots of benefits
Bang for your buck
Public spending for public benefit. Maximize the use of the space for everyone
Safety
People feel safer when there are other people around and in busy areas.
Draw People Out
Make it attractive for people to visit, be it from across the street, across town, or across the river
Support Locals
Create opportunities for local business and local artists. Increase footfall & dwell-time downtown
