Creating reasons to gather & making places worth experiencing.

We don’t just produce events. We activate places.

No Surprises Events & Design creates recurring programming, seasonal activations, placemaking experiences, and large-scale events and festivals for cities, developers, downtown associations, and businesses.

We create experiences that bring people and places together.

Big ideas, real impact.

Built around the place, not a template.

Every community, property, and audience is different. We create programming around the identity of the place, the people you want to reach, and what you want the experience to accomplish.
