This free event features an array of entertainment and activities for children and adults alike.

Had a great time at the Art Walk today. Even had a couple of black eyed peas & Collard Green tacos while watching Wadada perform on the corner of 43rd & Degnan. Got to see some great art and awesome peeps at he vision, Kaos Network, World Stage and more, all were grooving in the spirit of the affair! Overall it was a great event, in spite of the threat of rain which never poured nor sprinkled.

I spoke with Ben about me hosting a comedy stage at this event. I better get on it right away….time is of essence. I’ll show up either way and support this awesome and much needed energy. I was at the last one and it was such a great feeling to see life pumped back into the Village!
