I’ve been meaning to post about this, so before I forget again —

This Saturday, May 24, 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM at Coleman Park is the Hands Together In Flatrock Music And Arts Festival. From the presser:

In an effort to encourage interaction, greater understanding and tolerance among the older residents and the new immigrant families of Flatrock, members of the Flatrock community have come together to present a one day, family oriented festival. The Hands Together in Flatrock 1st Annual Music and Arts Festival will feature a unique mix of music, arts and cuisine – all of which have been selected with the intent to represent the rich, cultural diversity of the Flatrock community.
