Spend the day in Penn Park on Sunday, August 29
MADISON, WI -- For the third event in the Live Well @ Your Library series, Madison Public Library is collaborating with two fantastic events in south Madison's Penn Park (2101 Fisher St) on August 29. Live Well @ Your Library is joining the Black & Brown Unity Picnic and the Latino Chamber of Commerce's La Plaza Market for an exciting outdoor event that approaches wellness in an interactive way.
"Live Well @ Your Library has worked to listen to the community and uplift BIPOC voices and practitioners. By joining forces with these two events, we're excited to offer a wider range of activities, while still staying true to our mission to provide self-care and wellness opportunities for the community," said Community Engagement Librarian at Goodman South Madison Library Farrah McDaniel.
The combined event will include live music, food carts, dancing, face painting, blood pressure checks, screen printing, bilingual storytimes and other events for kids and adults. Wellness activities include one-on-one reiki experiences, 15 minute acupuncture sessions and a community conversation in conjunction with the Black & Latino Unity Picnic that will focus on wellness.
"We are very excited to join forces with the Madison Public Library and the Latino Chamber of Commerce. We would like to invite all the community to join the conversation about wellness, our communities and how we can unite efforts to resolve very important issues that affect us all," said Clarissa Pearson, an organizer for the Black and Brown Unity Project.
"It's an honor to share this space with the Madison Public Library and the Black & Latino Unity Project to offer the wonderful opportunity for the community to interact in wellness opportunities," said Jessica Cavazos, President for the Latino Chamber of Commerce. "Being able to discuss wellness is extremely important within our community, and what better way to engage in this topic than through interactive workshops and live music, all while supporting local vendors and businesses."
