The ‘We The People Power’ Festival, on June 16th at Gas Works Park from 1p – 7p, will harness and celebrate the power of community. A series of fun-filled work parties, preparing the games, art and projects to be shared at the festival, will give everyone a chance to enjoy people-power in advance. Every Thursday, leading up to June 16th, at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center, downstairs, organizers will gather to build the festival, with orientations taking place at 6:15p for those curious to know more.
The schedule of upcoming work parties is:
- May 24th, from 5p – 8p
- May 31st, from 6p – 9p
- June 7th, from 6p – 9p
- June 14th, from 6p-9p
Each Thursday, stop by anytime to help hone ideas, and make neat stuff. Together, the community can create a just and beautiful world.

- bottle caps (for game tokens)
- gallon milk jugs with caps (weights for canopies)
- large cardboard boxes (for Cardboard Village activity)
- (loan of) canopies
