Attend Flower Power on First Friday, May 2 from 7 – 9 PM at Auburn Public Theater. Join us for a groovy night filled with beautiful blooms, good vibes, and music performed by the Prison City Rockers.

Double Public Art Unveiling
Before the event, attend an unveiling celebration at 6:30 PM as BID celebrates The Space Between in the green space on William Street behind the Hadley Building. This sculpture, created by Audrey Iwanicki, marks the BID's last DRI-funded installation. Then, cross the street and unveil Radiance of Wellness: Unifying Diversity, the Heart of a Thriving Community, a mural/mosaic created by Jonathan Cantrell and Jesse Kline. This public artwork was commissioned by East Hill Medical. Facebook event
Downtown Flower Pot Planting
For more outdoor activity on Saturday, May 17 at 9 AM outside Café 108, participate in our Downtown Planting and help fill the ground pots with red canna lilies in the center, and bubble gum, silver and jazz berry petunias surrounding them. This event promotes civic pride and only takes a few hours. No need to RSVP, just show up the morning of the event. Facebook event
Donate Towards the Flower Power Program
The flowers play an essential role in welcoming patrons & visitors Downtown, their color and beauty enhance our city from Memorial Day weekend – October. Warm glowing white lights also amplify our downtown experience and vibrancy. The BID plants and maintains 120 ground flower pots and flower beds at Freedom Park, Market Street Park, and Exchange Street Plaza. We also purchase & maintain hanging baskets in the district from James Street – John Street.
We so appreciate your help subsidizing this project. Without the support of businesses, organizations and individuals like you, we would not be able to continue the program. It is an expensive project that is offset through our contract with the City and the many friends of Downtown. The funds go directly to the daily watering, maintenance and replacement of the flowers throughout the season. Your help has allowed us to expand the program to include more ground pots & flower beds and now hanging baskets. Thank you so much!
