Centennial Supports Neighborhood Gatherings Through Grants and Movie Nights

The City of Centennial offers two programs designed to bring neighbors together and strengthen community connections across the City—the Neighborhood Engagement Grant and Movie Nights for outdoor gatherings.

Applications are now open for the annual Neighborhood Engagement Grant, and residents can reserve Movie Nights Kits for the upcoming season.

Host a Neighborhood Movie Night

Centennial residents, homeowner associations and community organizations can reserve a free Movie Night Kit at centennialco.gov/movie. Each kit includes an inflatable screen, projector, DVD player, speakers and all necessary cabling.

A $250 refundable deposit is required and will be returned once the equipment is safely returned. Neighborhoods may reserve a kit once per year for weekend use between May 22 and September 4.

Movie nights offer a simple, memorable way for neighbors to connect and spend time together. As one resident shared, “We had so much fun with our backyard movie night… It was a memory we will have forever and a new summer tradition for our neighborhood.”

Apply for a Neighborhood Engagement Grant

The Neighborhood Engagement Grant Program provides up to $500 to support resident-led events such as block parties, social gatherings, food trucks and pancake breakfasts. Learn more and apply at centennialco.gov/communitygrants.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are fully allocated. To qualify, events must take place in Centennial, be open to the community, encourage neighborhood participation and comply with applicable codes and regulations.

These events help create meaningful connections among neighbors. As one grant recipient shared, “People of all ages were able to connect and enjoy food and festivities… It was amazing to see new and longtime neighbors come together.”
