September 20, 5-9PM. Preston Lot/Flat Street
There’s a new party on Flat- TEEN STREET.
This event is for teens! Downtown Brattleboro Alliance, The Boys & Girl’s Club, BrattRock, New England Youth Theater, The Latchis Hotel & Theater, and the Brattleboro Police Dept, are thrilled to invite teens down to Flat Street this September.
Teen Street means Food Trucks, Live Music by local youth musicians, a youth organized art market. How much fun can you jam into a parking lot? A lot it turns out- an Inflatable Obstacle Course, Kona Ice, pickup basketball. Did we mention food? Thai Hut will be on-site and ready for action- delicious AND affordable. Sunshine Lemonade Company is turning lemons into Boba Lemonade! Take a stroll through the Teen Art Market, with goods by youth for youth.
BrattRock! Twice a year they throw the biggest concerts featuring youth musicians. ALWAYS amazing, and ALWAYS a thrill to see such talented youth right in our own community! The lineup this round:
The Jackets
Emily Margaret Band
Half Giraffe
Sonic Space
The Cheese Priests
Eva Isabella
Judge Judy & Executioner
Silas Will
Flat Street is long overdue for a shift in energy, identity, and narrative. Young people need places to be & opportunities to gather. Consider this an invitation to rethink how we engage with this space, and an invitation to join us in working towards the Flat Street we know is possible. More improvement projects and announcements coming soon. BPD and the Brat Team will be on-site for this event.
Thanks to our generous sponsors without whom Teen Street wouldn’t exist: Brattleboro Food Coop, Mocha Joe’s Cafe, High Street & Green, Berkeley & Veller, Brattleboro Area Realty.
