Open Streets Festival begins with a full weekend of live art, food, and music.
Open Streets Festival
A month-long summer program of outdoor art, music, and street activations across five neighbourhoods. This report covers all organic social activity for the opening month.
Overview
Jun 01, 2026 - Jul 03, 2026Opening month outperformed plan on every platform. Short-form video drove the bulk of reach, while Instagram carried engagement depth with saves up sharply on artist-led content.
TikTok was the top acquisition channel at 237K views across two videos. The mural build reel became the single best performing piece of content of the month. Facebook drove the highest share volume, pushing event awareness into local community groups.
Artist-forward storytelling consistently beats programme announcements — we'll lead with people next month. Stories work best as same-day reminders, so we'll schedule them closer to each activation.
