Did you hear the exciting buzz about our recent West 68th Street Party? Despite a bit of rain, the atmosphere was truly energetic. We started the day with yoga followed by a marching band parade down 68th Street. We grilled over 100 meals, were entertained by our local talent via an open mic, collected textiles for recycling, played pickelball, offered knife sharpening, did some line dancing, the kids had activities and face painting, and even our dogs participated by showing off their style in a costume show. Our raffle, featuring prizes from more than 30 local merchants, was the capstone of the day.
Please enjoy over 20 photos and a video below...
We look forward to reestablishing this event as an annual tradition. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions to enhance next year's activities.
