Important Update: 6th Ward V.I.N.I.A. – Postponed

Out of an abundance of caution due to air quality concerns, we are postponing the 6th Ward V.I.N.I.A. event scheduled for Sunday, July 19.

The health and safety of our residents, families, performers, vendors, and volunteers comes first. We know many were looking forward to celebrating together, and we appreciate your understanding and patience.

A new date will be announced soon. We look forward to gathering with the community when conditions allow us to do so safely.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay safe, and we’ll see you soon.
