Launching Successful Pop-Ups in Your Downtown
Hosted by Project: Pop-Up + MA Downtown Initiative / EOED
WEBINAR | Join Us for a Panel Featuring Past Project: Pop-Up Partners
The retail landscape in downtown districts has changed since the impact of the pandemic. The strategic use of pop-ups gained traction as a way to revitalize communities and downtowns with fresh concepts, while supporting local brands ready to test drive brick and mortar spaces.
Since 2021, twelve municipalities in the Boston area have utilized grant funding to activate 20+ storefronts through Project: Pop-Up.Ā
Join MA Downtown Initiative/EOED, inĀ partnership with the Project: Pop-Up team, to hear stories and insights from both brand founders and municipal leaders who have participated in grant-funded programs and learn how you can launch a successful pop-up in your downtown.Ā
