So Fresh Saturday – June 15 – Moran Park – 5727 S. Racine – 2pm-6pm
The season for “So Fresh Saturdays” is here and R.A.G.E. is excited to announce that our 2019 summer park tour will launch on Saturday, June 15th at Moran Park located 5727 S. Racine from 2pm-6pm. For seven years, R.A.G.E. has hosted “So Fresh Saturdays” as part of Chicago’s larger Nights Out in the Parks effort. Each year R.A.G.E. reclaims local parks in Greater Englewood in the name of peace to offer residents a free, family-oriented, “edutainment” festival where they can enjoy games, performances by local artists, food, raffles, and relevant resources throughout the summer. In 2018, So Fresh Saturday expanding to include seven parks serving more than 7,000 individuals.
It is with great pride that we provide this free event to residents who are often overwhelmed with negative ideas of what it means to be an inner-city resident of Chicago. The kick-off event for So Fresh Saturdays on June 15th is a part of the This is My Englewood (T.I.M.E. 21:36) launch and will include positive entertainment from over 10 local musicians and artists plus offer a community resource fair that brings together nearly 20 organizations and schools that have programming and opportunities for resident. Children of all ages can take part in a variety of games, arts and crafts, as well as a bounce house. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in a raffle and receive complimentary food. And in solidarity with the Moms Demand Action and Everytown Survivor Network, we will also wear the color orange to honor all victims of gun violence and survivor families in our city, state and nation.
