One Day. Real Impact.

On Saturday, May 31st, Brightside Day brings the Eastsound community together to clean, plant, and paint - leaving our neighborhood better than we found it.

What Is Brightside Day?

Hosted by the Common Good Coalition, Brightside Day is a one-day event where Eastsound neighbors roll up their sleeves to improve the spaces we share. With murals, community gardens, and block-party vibes - it’s hands-on and hope-filled.

Greening Projects

Help plant trees, start garden beds, or distribute flowers to local seniors.

Art & Murals

Work with local artists or help paint community-designed murals.

Cleanups & Care

Lend a hand with trash pickup, sidewalk sweeping, or repairs.

Brightside Day brought our neighborhood to life in a way we hadn’t seen in years. The energy, the people, the impact - it all came together beautifully. We’ll be back every year.
