Ordinarily, you’d think one of the last places to have a picnic would be a gas station. Not so for the organizers of Streets are for Picnics! On Sunday, June 11, at 4:00, the organizers behind the popular Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington will be having a picnic on the site of a former gas station at College and Rusholme (just a bit west of Dovercourt).
Kensington’s sons and daughters in Samba Elegua and the New Kings will begin performing around 8:00, finishing off with a collaboration with Richard Underhill and the Kensington Horns. Rump-shaking fun for all!
The mission of the the group:
- To engage citizens and governments through creative and playful street actions.
- To demonstrate the absurdity of our auto addicted culture.
- To open dialogue about alternate visions for our city streets.
- To create and inspire collaborative projects which continue to push the agenda of a livable city and a sustainable future.
