Party in the Street!
Saturday, 06.01.13
That’s right, you heard us correctly. As soon as you’ve secured the area and made sure you’re out of harm’s way, dance like nobody is watching… in the street! We’re proud to help spread the word about this event every year. 2013’s installment of this favorite local showcase marks the 10th time our Local First friends have thrown this gala. Let us tell you, there certainly have been countless memories forged in that span, and it’s great to see there are no signs of stopping anytime soon.
The fun kicks off at 3pm and is scheduled well into the late evening hour. This is a FREE event, complete with a wide variety of local art, music, and fare. The lineup is as follows:
- Interactive Recycled Art (Led by Reb Roberts, All Day)
- Chalk Art (Led by Carlo Riolo 3:00-7:00)
- The Grand Rapids Soul Club (Between Sets)
- Hoop Performance Artists (evening)

And finally… it’s not often you attend a Local First event without also having the opportunity to partake in some amazing craft beer. But don’t fret, if non-alcoholic is your preference, they have you covered as well. Eager to help you wash down the delicious food, a few favorites will be on hand:
- Founders Brewing Co.
- St. Julian Wine
- Faygo Soda
- Free Water will also be available
This is a celebration you will NOT want to miss, and it’s designed for the entire family (women, men, and children alike). Special thanks to our Local First family for continuing to support this endeavor each year. This simply would not exist without each and every one of us, and it’s a real privilege to be among all of you. See you at the party!
