PLAY IN THE STREETS PARTY
"Get out of your vehicle and into your community"
A party to celebrate our community in upper Cuba Street from 1pm,
Wellington (New Zealand) Saturday 13 September 2003.
The idea is to invite the community back into the street and to assert
that
we are a strong part
of this historic area and are affected by the proposed bypass (whatever
the
environment court
may say), and also to have fun in the streets. This party aims to
celebrate
the space on
streets, and to provide for the traditional use of them: as a social
area
for the community
where games, trade, and interaction happened and happens.
There will be party games, food stalls, information stalls, local
acoustic
musicians, a bit of
street theatre, street art and a forum for open discussion of views
around
community issues.
It intends to be an example of a positive alternative use for the street
when the bypass
proposal is dropped.
The party will be held on the around the streets of upper
Cuba, Tonks and Arthur.
