Well Port Hope…
The Procession of (Port) Hope is this Saturday! (At @cultivatefestival’s LAUNCH! event — a free all day celebration in Memorial Park) ✨🎉
📣Procession kicks off at 4:30pm in front of the bandshell.
📣Then we will go on a collective walk around downtown Port Hope at a slow but consistent pace, returning to the park for the next musical act at 5:00pm.
📣Come to the Critical Mass booth from 11:00am - 4:00pm to make some signs and learn some of the moves.
Let’s do this!
Bring your energy, your joy, your community spirit and hope!
Bring your walking shoes!
Bring your noisemakers!
Wear your brightest colours and let’s move together through (Port) Hope :)!
You can walk with us, move with us, (there will be some very basic choreography) or cheer us on.
Your generous responses throughout this project were collected with care and will be incorporated into the banners and signs we collectively carry for the procession and display in a colourful installation in Lent Lane afterwards.
Come on out ✨
Let’s Walk 🚶♀️🚶🚶♂️💃🕺👯♀️
Let’s Rock 🎸🥁
