About the project
The Millikin Neighborhood Group is working to create a weekly summer series of arts, music, dance,and movement events and programs, to take place at the Millikin Playground during the summer of 2021. As the pandemic fades, the goal is to once again bring neighbors together to build community while having fun.
The Millikin Neighborhood Group was started a few years with the goals of helping neighbors to know one another and creating a central greenspace/playground hub. Accomplishments include adding equipment and activities to the playground, hosting clean up events, community potlucks, a chalk festival and a concert. The weekly summer events series is the next step in building community and providing the neighborhood with fun activities. Funds raised will be used to pay arts professionals to lead activities and purchase supplies.
