Tom Tom launches with a block party at the historic schoolhouse. A FREE afternoon of outdoor activities on the McGuffey Lawn: live music, street food, beer garden, public art, & children's activities. We close the street closed down to traffic, and fill the lawn with samba, flamenco, mexican & rock while food trucks line the block...
Late night, the party moves insides the studios for hip hop, indie rock, poetry, and americana stages.
Over 30+ creative acts in all.
