SUMMARY:Wake Up the Earth Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Wake Up the Earth Festival was born on land that was cleared for a highway. When the communities of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury started a grassroots movement with the South-West Corridor Coalition to stop  Interstate 95 from cutting through their neighborhoods\, they reclaimed that cleared earth and turned it into a farm\, a festival\, and a tradition now 48 years strong. Every first Saturday in May\, thousands return to this space to dance\, parade\, create\, and celebrate our neighborhood’s history of activism\, expression\, and inclusion. Art is how we build and empower our community. \nThe event will take place at the following locations concurrently: 10:30AM @ Curtis Hall (Center Street Parade)\, 11:00AM @ Robert Lawsone Park (Egleston Street Parade)\, 12-6PM Southwest Corridor Park @ Stonybrook T Station.
