One Slightly Panicked Phone Call
How it startedMaria Lopez, the City of Paramount’s parks and recreation director, reached out in early October. “Our downtown feels more like a weekday commute than a holiday hotspot,” she confessed. With steady but uninspired foot traffic, local businesses craving a boost, and last year’s basic decorations fading into the background, we surveyed the corridor under the Southern California sun. The potential was clear: weave festive magic into the city’s palm trees, bridges, and landmarks—creating a community hub that’s bright, inviting, and budget-conscious.
Challenge
Revitalize a multi-site downtown area with holiday cheer that unites the community, boosts the local economy, and withstands coastal weather—all without interrupting daily life.
