Gensa has been programming events for local families for over a decade — with the people who own the plaza, the mall, the block or the budget. If you have a space and a date, we can fill it with families.
We plan the programming, line up the vendors and activities, and run the day itself — so the event feels like something families chose, not something they wandered into.
BIDs, real estate companies, shopping centers, neighborhood associations, cultural institutions and brands. Some partners bring the space, some the budget, most a bit of both.
Outdoor and indoor events, classes and workshops — a workshop in a storefront, a seasonal festival on a plaza, a street fair that takes over the block.
A recap of every event, written the way we write everything else — with photos, and the details that tell you how the day actually went.

Outdoor and indoor events, classes and workshops — street festivals, seasonal celebrations, mall activations, dance parties, camp fairs and panel breakfasts. Events have ranged from about 30 participants to more than 3,000.
Business improvement districts, real estate companies and developers, shopping centers, neighborhood associations, cultural institutions and brands that want to reach local families. Some partners bring the space, some bring the budget, some bring both.
We curate the programming, line up the vendors and activities, promote the event to local families across our newsletter, news pages and social channels, and run the day itself. Partners typically provide the venue or the funding, and we agree on scope together before anything is booked.
Every event we run is promoted through Gensa's own channels — the family newsletter, the neighborhood news pages, and social. Afterwards we publish a recap with photos, which stays on the site as a record of the event.
