7th Street Ribbon Cutting

Join Creative Waco, City of Waco, and City Center Waco plus community partners for a ribbon cutting at 7th Street Plaza: Thursday April 30, 2026 from 4:00–5:30 PM at 7th Street Plaza (7th Street & Austin Ave), downtown Waco.

This project reflects a shared investment in creating a more vibrant, welcoming, and creative downtown, supporting local businesses, artists, and public life. The event will highlight new lighting, streetscape enhancements, and the beautiful new “Waco Forever” pavement mural, which is a giant board game painted by high school artists and mentors from Creative Waco’s ArtPrenticeship program. The event will recognize the artists, high school apprentices, partners, and stakeholders who helped bring the project to life.

Guests can expect a short program, ribbon cutting, opportunities to connect with neighboring businesses, and a chance to enjoy the interactive elements of the plaza. This moment marks not just a project completion, but a step forward in building a more active, connected, and vibrant Waco.
