WHAT: MoBo Block Party (For Everybody!)
WHERE: 1415 Knowlton St - the whole block - Northside Cincinnati

Come enjoy a cookout, prepare to commute to school or work, participate in a community art project, and swap with neighbors at a Really Really Free Market.

Want to participate in the Really Really Free Market? Please bring no more than two boxes to exchange plus a way to display your items: tarp, blanket, table etc. We especially encourage school supplies and bicycle commuting gear for this event.

Hosted by The Village Green Foundation with tours of the various spaces and programs. Join us in over a decade of empowering children while building community. From the initial seed of intent, we grew through participation in creating environments of respect, mutual aid and community interest. Come and look, stay for the growth in self, family and community.
