Get ready to turn up the heat at this year’s State of the City event coming up on Thursday, January 30, at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

Arrive early to enjoy a reception with appetizers and refreshments from local business to fuel your energy for the main event. Chat with fellow community members, mingle with local leaders, and start off the evening with some chill vibes (before the heat cranks up). Attendees are asked to bring a monetary donation or non-perishable food item for the local ICA food shelf. The reception will be held from 5 to 6 p.m., with the State of the City program beginning at 6 p.m.
