☞ MEET: 129United! Summer Festival

Saturday, August 13th from 12:00 Noon-5:00 PM, 129United! Summer Festival at 129th Street between Lenox and ACP/7th Avenue. Those who want to meet the neighbors (or maybe inquire on how to get a block association together) should check out this one day Festival which will include fun exercise workshops, nutritious multi-cultural food tastings, health screenings, a kid’s pavilion, and a performance stage featuring a gospel choir, motivational speakers, spoken word and more. Additionally, the Food Bank, WBLS, Trader Joe's, Costco Honest Tea, Chill Berry, and Coca Cola will all be handing out samples of various healthy products.

  1. Nice of Trader Joe's to show up. Let's see them really walk the walk and open up a store around where they will be passing out free samples of their food.
