The Kisanii Hub
Outdoor Events Series

With our series of Live Events, our intent is to activate our public space and create opportunities for our community not only to discover and enjoy amazing artistic performances, but also to connect and spend quality time together, in our local park.

Concerts, theatre performances, dance shows, you name it, we do it.
