The annual celebration of the neighborhoods, arts, and African American culture of the Central District returns this weekend.
Saturday, Walk the Block 2023 will transform “Central District homes, businesses, parks, porches, and other common spaces” into “art installations and performance sites.”
“Walk the Block brings visibility to a community that continues to adapt and grow in place, while creating a bridge to new residents who have recently arrived,” organizing neighborhood arts organization Wa Na Wari says.
The event runs Saturday, September 30th from 2 to 6 PM with registration on the roof of Medgar Evers Pool, at 23rd and Jefferson, just north of the Garfield High School parking lot. Tickets start at $30.
