Peace in the Streets, a Free Outdoor Concert & Community Day
Peace in the Streets is a 4 part concert series a part of a citywide initiative to combat the epidemic of gun violence through music, community power, and direct engagement. . 1st up is North Philly! While every neighborhood is hosting its own activation, North Philly is stepping forward not just as a participant, but as a leader in the shift. North Philly is more than what they say about us. For too long, our neighborhoods have been the face of Philadelphia’s gun violence crisis, but we’re flipping that narrative.
This free outdoor event is hosted by John Graves Productions, Redeem Baptist Church, and the Philadelphia Anti-Violence Community Partnership, and it's powered by the belief that the same blocks impacted by harm can also be the ones that drive healing.
What You Can Expect:
Live performances from artists speaking truth to power
Curated open mic (Sign-up required; submissions reviewed)
Live DJ sets to keep the energy alive
Games & activities for families, children, and youth
Free services from barbers, nonprofits, wellness providers & more.
GET INVOLVED
We are looking for artists, healers, youth leaders, vendors, community builders and organizers to be a part of this. Because the bigger the turnout, the bigger the impact. Interested? Click here
