There will be a silent art auction with activist art from Johanna Poethig, Farley Gwazda, Julianne Wallace Sterling and many more.
The street will be closed to traffic and there will be family-style sit-down dining on tables placed across 25th St. Smokin’ Woods Cafe will be cooking up delicious BBQ and vegetarian specialties and Forage Kitchen + 2 Mile Wines will be serving locally-made wines, beer and non-alcoholic beverages.
Our stage, MC’d by hilarious monologist Josh Kornbluth, will feature Bandaloop, Johnny Harper Carnival Quartet and Youth Speaks! performing short sets. (More acts TBA) Central Valley House candidates, activist and youth groups will also speak, bringing their messages of inspiration and personal resistance.
