WHAT IS A LANEWAY CRAWL?
A Laneway Crawl is a pop-up festival that redefines how we think of, experience and use our city’s laneways. These events activate our city's laneways with fun, participative activities (things like art workshops, pop-up greening, music jams, pickup sports, garage mural painting and more), and transform them into vital, vibrant parts of their neighbourhood's public realm.
How to Contribute
Want to be a part of the Laneway Crawl in your neighbourhood? Here are some ideas for how you can contribute: Clean up your back entranceway and take out the garbage, recycling and organic bins; open your back doors, set up some seating, play music or host an activity to help activate the laneway; sell or provide samples of food, drinks or other products in the laneway. Get in touch with Michelle Senayah at michelle@thelanewayproject.ca.
