Good News fellow Towners! The forecasters are predicting that today will be the
warmest day of the weekend so you should pack your picnic basket and head on
out to my favorite music festival of the year, the
Malcolm X Jazz Festival
at San Antonio Park.
Hosted by the EastSide Arts
Alliance, this is the 12th year of the festival which has the
unique ability of uniting the youth of the future with the legacy of our past
in a delicious aroma of present day progressiveness. FREE to everyone there
will be food, artisan vendors, and three performance stages featuring some of
the most talented local artist of music, dance, and spoken word. Guest will
include Dimensions Dance Theater, the Kev Choice Ensemble, live painting by
Black Diamonds Shining and You. Yes Y-O-U! Because there will be a graffiti wall,
a writer’s bench, and a dance court open to all guests to participate. There
will also be plenty of arts and crafts for the kids.
A pinnacle of self-transformation Malcolm X was an advocate
for civil rights. Best known for believing that people should take action against
injustice, “By Any Means Necessary,” he empowered many generations to unify,
for the purpose of self-determination and freedom. He loved to Lindy Hop and Jazz music and there will be plenty of both! Today
is his actual birthday! So come and be inspired! Don’t forget your blankets. San Antonio Park is located at the
corner of 19th Avenue and Foothill
Blvd. This event will be from 11am
to 7pm.
