Think Peace and Atlant Music present the Unity Peace Festival at Ronan Park from 1-6 p.m. According to a press release, the first annual edition of the festival is meant to “unite our diverse community of friends and families” and “celebrate our neighborhoods and help young people and families connect with organizations and programs that provide services to youth at risk.”

“We want to unite our diverse community and establish cooperation in fighting youth violent crimes in our city,” said Luisa Tavares, who lost her son Andrew to gun violence in 2010.

The festival will include live music performances by local artists, vendors, refreshments, kids activities, and more. The event is free and open to the public. Organizers are currently looking for vendors. Register for the free festival here, or for more details email atlantmusic75@gmail.com.
