Mmmwhahsome Weekends, July 8-9 and 21-23, 2017
Mmmwhah in the Neighborhoods of Boulder, Colorado 2018
Mmmwhah! started as a grass roots movement in the Holiday Neighborhood of Boulder, Colorado. We brought three Mmmwhahsome! Weekends of events in the Summer and weekly events through the Fall of 2017.
In 2018, we continued our work in North Boulder and extended to the Vista Village Mobile Home Park and the Crescent Neighborhood of southeast Boulder.
Responding to the Cry to Bring Mmmwhah! to Our Neighborhood
In 2018, after hearing the cry: "What about OUR neighborhood? Can we bring some Mmmwhah! events to our neighborhood?" The City of Boulder answered "YES!" and graciously offered grants to do just that. The City's Neighborhood Services division received more applications than for any other grant they had hosted, and selected 4 neighborhoods to bring a total of 7 events to. (Learn more>>)

painting a street mural at a busy intersection near Melody Park to help slow traffic down and build community.
