The event, themed “Power in the Park!”, is organized by Indivisible Greater Kalamazoo and Paw Paw Indivisible — two local chapters of the national Indivisible.org network. Lead organizer Ken Greschak said the festival is a direct response to “efforts to dismantle our nation’s democratic institutions and to defund critical federal programs and services.”
The Kzoo Parks office will be open from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. next Monday-Thursday for community members to pick up free craft bags, select toys, and write letters to Santa.
Attendees can enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and holiday lights while supplies last. It starts Thursday, December 12, at Bronson Park.
Youth and teens ages 18 and under are invited to participate in the talent show. They have until July 25 to register.
The event focused on disparities in health care, homelessness and the availability of jobs for LGBTQ people.
A major overhaul is in the works for a document that helps set the future character of downtown Kalamazoo. At a regular meeting of the Kalamazoo City Commission this past Monday, City Planner Christina Anderson detailed proposed changes to the city code that will introduce a concept called form-based zoning to the city. A public hearing on the proposed changes is scheduled to take place this coming Monday, November 2.
