About the Expo

This FREE event aims to connect residents, neighborhoods, community groups, and local government. Discover why community engagement matters, learn about how you can make a difference, and explore exciting ways to participate in local decision-making in your community.  

What is the Goal of the Expo?

We designed the expo with three goals in mind:

  1. To encourage all residents to participate in local decision-making;
  2. To celebrate and collaborate with Raleigh's growing community; and,
  3. To connect residents with City departments, community organizations, and other resources in their communities.
