I’ve been enjoying a new FI-adjacent podcast, The Reframe. The “Local Love Days” episode (#90, 2/23/26) — about creating a walkable, neighborhood-based day supporting local businesses — struck me as a fantastic FI event idea.
She suggests designing a day that includes physical activities, creative experiences, local shopping, dining, and arts/entertainment. People can join for part or all of it and deep dive into one specific part of town — promoting local businesses while building connection.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Have you participated in something like this in your area? Could this work in your town?
