The Rosa Lees at RISE Community Building Event

Presented by Firebrand Resiliency Collective, RISE is an all-ages community-building event at Phoenix Industrial studios. The event celebrates the return of Spring and renews the call to action for community wildfire resilience, supporting meaningful connections and sustainability through music, education, resources, and play!

Activities at the main venue include a full music stage, kids’ activities, and resource and education booths hosted by more than a dozen awesome local organizations and agencies. We'll have activities from face painting to seed balls to mask-making to food trucks to Smoky Bear himself! We got your bike workshop, and a group bike ride from Ashland. We've got your fire engine spraying water and making rainbows, we got your tree plantings and youth choirs, and we even got your beer garden and food trucks and the brick oven magic of Clyde’s Corner.

This is a call out to community far and wide: Get on up (or get on down!) to Phoenix next month on May 4 and let's build some community and RISE together! More details below or at www.firebrandcollective.org/come-rise-with-us-on-may-4th/
