Theme: UNITY. HEALING. LEGACY.
Bring your own food. Bring your own drink. Bring your whole self.
NO vendors. NO selling. This is NOT a show—this is a people-powered movement.
---
THIS IS A CALL TO THE PEOPLE.
Not a concert. Not a festival. Not a parade.
This is your invitation to show up—for your family, your history, and your future.
I called it. But it’s not mine.
It’s ours—and it only becomes real if you answer.
If you want to feel something real, something healing, something powerful—
Don’t just show up. STEP UP.
---
BRING YOUR FAMILY. BRING YOUR FRIENDS. BRING YOUR NEIGHBORS.
Let’s flood Fairground Park with love, presence, and purpose.
No permission needed—just participation.
