Get together with your neighbors.

Putting the “Neighbor” back in Neighborhood! That’s what Renew Birmingham is all about, and we’re ready to put that phrase into action as we prepare to kick off our community engagement activities for 2023. We hosted four yard parties during the last half of 2022, and they proved to be an effective tool for bringing neighbors together to interact with one another and learn how they can positively impact their communities. We have high aspirations for 2023, as we plan to host at least 30 yard parties throughout our service area over the course of the spring and summer. The Ensley Renaissance Festival will be returning in July, bringing talented artists, vendors, food, fun, and neighbors together to celebrate Ensley and all it has to offer. We will continue clearing and cleaning up vacant lots as we work toward our goal of eliminating one million square feet of blight throughout our service area. These events bring people together to share time, share ideas, and share a willingness to invest the time, energy, and resources needed to create thriving communities.
