A Civic Event: (FOUNDATION)
What is A Civic Event?
In partnership with Citizen University, A Civic Event is a unique, dynamic, and nationally recognized gathering hosted by the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Foundation to spark meaningful community connection and civic action.
These events bring people together to explore important local issues through powerful conversations, engaging presentations, and shared experiences. You’ll find a mix of art, music, poetry, food, and a relevant civic message—all designed to inspire thoughtful dialogue and real solutions.
Each event is unique, but the goal is the same: to strengthen community ties, encourage civic participation, and help build a better Gilbert.
Join us—connect with neighbors, share your voice, and be part of something bigger.
