Roving Garden Party
Date: Saturday, May 13th, 2006
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Center of Tompkins Square Park
Summary: A musical, dancing parade to celebrate our gardens — followed by a barbeque-party.
Details: Come dance down the streets to celebrate community gardens and camaraderie. We’ll visit some gardens, unleash some surprises, partake in a ritual, stand up against some slimy developers and end with an after-party and barbeque.
We all need places to play, to dream, to connect with each other and the world. For NYC, community gardens are some of those places. So are the streets. Unfortunately, all things wildincluding gardens, forests and people who defend the Earthare under attack. Lets revel in the places that are still untamed with people who are still untamed.
Bring drums and instruments! Dress as the garden creature of your dreams!
Special Guests:
Reverend Billy & the Stop Shopping Choir / Rude Mechanical Orchestra / 100 Flowered Kazoos Collective / Radical Cheerleaders & Faerie Drummers / Jugglers, Puppets & Tap Dancers / More Gardens! Coalition / Times Up /You & Your Crew
