11 Killer Ideas for Hosting Community Events

A community event is an amazing opportunity for people to get to know each other and connect. It is a way to understand each other and build a stronger foundation for your homes. The trick is to choose the best theme or option for your community event for it to be successful.

If you are planning to organise one, here are 11 killer community event ideas that you can choose from!

1. Seasonal Community Event Ideas

 A great general idea is to take into consideration the current season.

2. Christmas Carolling in December

Be vocal! Get together with other members of the community to go Christmas carolling in December during the holidays. This is a great way to foster community spirit. You can even have various groups singing at different areas of the community on different dates so that more people can get involved and you can cover more ground.

3. Pumpkin Carving Contest

 

A great community event idea for Halloween is to host a pumpkin carving contest. It is good for those with a healthy competitive spirit. For the kids, you can have a pumpkin painting contest as well so they can have fun and get involved. Display all entries where everyone in the community can admire them.

4. Easter Egg Hunting

Easter is one of the most popular holidays for kids, so why not host an Easter Egg Hunting event? Get some of the adults together to paint and hide eggs a day before then let lose those little ones! This is great fun for whole families of the community.
Non-Seasonal Community Event Ideas
Of course, you do not have to wait for a specific holiday to host. Here are some community event ideas perfect for any day of the year.

5. Comedy Night

Laughter is the best medicine; and it is also one of the best ways to get people to come together and relieve the stress of daily life. You have a lot of options for performers as well. You can hire one comedian for the entire night, offer an improv show, or have an open mic and discover who has the best funny bone in the community!

6. Teach Others about an Activity

One of the best community event ideas is to actually share a hobby or activity to others. For example, if someone is very passionate about Yoga, he or she can share knowledge to others. This can be applied to almost any activity or hobby. Nothing gets people closer than learning together.

7. Big Garage Sale

Garage sales are usually done on a per house basis. So why not get everyone together and host a big garage sale where anyone and everyone can participate? Just need a big open space and a few flyers for all over town and even for adjacent communities.

8. Network Event

You never know what opportunities are right there under your nose. You can host a networking event so that people can share ideas and get to know each other on a professional level.
Dance Event
Remember what it was like in highschool to attend a dance, ball, or prom? Why not do that for the community? It gives everyone a reason to dress up nice for a night and interact with each other on the dance floor.

9. Scavenger Hunt

This can be for kids, adults, or both! Organise a scavenger hunt by placing clues all over town and the winners get something cool! You can get local businesses to join in on the fun too with clues and specific activities being done in their stores.

10. Food or Drink Event

 

Everyone loves food and drinks. So why not use it as your next community event idea? You can have people all over town bring their favourite food and drinks to share to everyone else. Or you can do cook-off competitions of a popular dish in the neighbourhood.

11. Trivia Night

Another great community event idea for those with a competitive spirit; trivia nights are always fun especially if the theme is something that everyone can relate to. Some topic ideas include music, television, and popular culture.
