March 2023 Apartment Resident Event Ideas For Multifamily Property Managers

March signals the beginning of spring, with warmer temperatures and slightly longer days. It’s also a great time of year to bring your residents together for activities and allow everyone to bond. Resident events allow neighbors to connect and form friendships. It also gives you a chance to learn more about those that live in the building you manage. If you are looking for resident event ideas, we have put together a few options. Give these activities a try and turn your property into a community.

Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras – Traditionally a time of festivals, feasts, and celebrations, Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras (March 1, 2022) has many traditions. Celebrate by handing out beads and king cake in the lobby. Or for a larger celebration in the spirit of Mardi Gras, consider putting on a community-wide parade.

March Madness – March Madness is a great way to get residents excited. Host a resident bracket challenge using ESPN.com easy and free to use, it will track games and results. For an added level of competition, give prizes away to the top 4 finishers and of course the overall winner. Culminate your bracket challenge with a party to watch the top 4/championship game.

St. Patrick’s Day – Get in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit by dressing in green and hosting a celebration. Serve Irish soda bread or corned beef and cabbage to bring the taste of the holiday to your residents. If you want to get in the holiday spirit, host a children’s holiday parade and surprise kids in attendance by staging a leprechaun trap with glitter and fun surprises.  

Pi Day Taste Test – National Pi Day (March 14, 2020) recognizes the mathematical constant Pi with the first three digits, 3.14. Commonly celebrated by eating pies or participating in Pi-themed activities. Host a Pi Party for your residents with pizza and dessert pieces from local restaurants and bakeries.

Celebrate National Plant a Flower Day – Liven up your property! You can give a short speech about how flowers benefit our environment or try to get a professional guest speaker. It’s also a good time to talk about the ways you are implementing more eco-friendly changes. Those daisies and daffodils aren’t just pretty, they also serve a crucial role in providing food and shelter for our pollinators. Many insects live in the leaves, petals, and roots. It will feel nice coming home to so much color and vibrance. Consider planting bee and butterfly-friendly plants, such as native wildflowers. Examples include:

  • Phlox
  • Flowering herbs
