Rescheduled … ⛄️

Peace beloved community! Our 20th annual celebration of Bob Marley is getting off to a snowy start! We are POSPONING our Get Up, Stand Up event in collaboration with The Worcester Public Library until next Thursday, February 13th, 2025. It is hard to tell what the weather will be doing, so out of an abundance of caution for elders, families, and others, we are shifting the event for a week in hopes for better weather!

We encourage you to do the snow dance for the rest of the weekend's programs (which are still happening as planned), and we look forward to seeing you Friday 2/7 at Electric Haze, Saturday 2/8 at The Worcester Youth Center, and Sunday 2/9 at The Village Worcester!
