Strengthening Community Bonds

For many attendees, the highlight of the night will be the neighbor to neighbor zone, where families will participate in collaborative art projects and youth workshops provided by local partners.

One Mauldin is about more than just a single night of fun, noted one community leader. It is about building a legacy of freedom, resilience, and connection that will sustain our city for generations to come.
