Southside Community Festival and Get Out the Vote Drive

The seventh annual Southside Community Festival and Get Out the Vote Drive is guaranteed to bring the heat once again this summer. The festival at Green Central School & Park will feature the Westside Band, the Mexican Hat Dancers, and the Green Central Steppers.  R&B sensation Kendra Glenn and the Art of Dance are also scheduled to perform, along with many other exciting acts. This year the festival will start with a drum roll: the UNL Drill Team and Mystic Toyz will lead a parade around the neighborhood within two blocks of the park. Many political candidates are scheduled to appear and there will be ample opportunity for on-site voter registration.  An additional treat is a boxing tournament sponsored by Circle of Discipline, featuring amateur champions.  As always, there will be food, games for kids, and face painting.
