May 5 2007 "WAKE UP THE EARTH"

Stonybrook T Stop on the Orange Line 
Lamartine Street
Boston, MA

May-05-2007 09:00AM - 05:00PM

The 29th Annual Wake Up The Earth Festival will take place on Saturday, May 5, 2007 (raindate Saturday, May 12, 2007) at the Southwest Corridor Park, adjacent to the Stonybrook T stop.

The Wake Up the Earth Festival began in 1979 when a group of local neighbors and activist banded together to stop the Interstate 95 expansion into Jamaica Plain. The festival began as, and still is, a celebration of what can be accomplished when people of all traditions, cultures, ages, and beliefs come together. A great many individuals, local artists, community groups, and schools join forces every year to make a unique community collaboration. Recent festivals have included an enchanted puppet forest, side shows, live bands, dancers, acoustic performers and a giant pageant.

SOUTH END PRESS WILL HAVE A TABLE AT THE FESTIVAL, WITH COPIES OF HEAT: HOW TO STOP THE PLANET FROM BURNING AVAILABLE FOR SALE
