Authentic culture and flavor is only a street block or t stop away. East Somerville Cultural Block Parties will launch in April and will take place on the THIRD THURSDAY of every month all the way through September. East Somerville sets itself apart with its vibrant and welcoming spirit – seen everywhere in color, sound, and flavor; a mix of English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Creole weave through its streets and stores. For the first time this flavor is being captured in a season long event series.

The first Block Party, "World on a String" will take place next Thursday, April 17th from 6-8:30 P.M. at the Culture Corridor @ Chuckie Harris Park 3-17 Cross St. East at Broadway The event will feature live music by Brazil Nuts, East Somerville Tastings, Literatura de Cordel readings by author Leonina Herringer, soccer games & much more! Bring a picnic, the whole family and come on down for an evening of fun, learning, and celebration! For more info visit www.eastsomervillemainstreets.org or call 617-623-3869
