Astoria Music Now!!! '09

Come join us for an environmentally friendly day of family fun & education to be held on the Great Lawn on July 25th. Building upon last year’s main & side stages, Astoria Music Now! is adding a third stage dedicated to world music, dj’s, dance & theater arts. There will also be vendors selling crafts, clothing, art & food at the event. We continue our tradition of live music that spans various diverse cultures from the community. Visitors will watch visual artists create works live, enjoy the sights and sounds of our culturally vibrant neighborhood and participate in this celebration of arts & music! Activities are set to begin at 12 noon.
