Tacoma Connect: Where Tacoma’s Changemakers Gather
On the last Wednesday of every month at Edison Square, creatives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders come together to connect with purpose, meet potential partners or collaborators, and build real relationships that support their work and lives.
This free event blends structured networking, spotlights on need-to-know community events and initiatives, and live performances from local talent shaping the sound and culture of the Pacific Northwest. It's all designed to help you expand your impact and build alongside the people shaping Tacoma.
