The Harvest Moon Community Solutions Festival is a celebration of community victories, voices and solutions, including our steadfast determination to make collective stewardship of the Roof Depot site a reality.
For a decade, a broad coalition of East Phillips neighbors and supporters have fought tirelessly for the right to convert the vacant Roof Depot warehouse into a solar-powered, community-owned, indoor urban farm and community hub.
This September 27th, we invite you to come see community solutions in motion and learn about the upcoming renovation of the Roof Depot warehouse, as we continue building toward the long-fostered East Phillips Urban Farm vision.
All are welcome to this free event, put on by and for the community. There will be food, presentations, live art and performances, youth-led journalism, activities, education and resources for kids and adults.
This event is hosted by East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI), in collaboration with Little Earth Protectors, Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue (Danza Ketzal), Strong Mind Strong Body Foundation’s Community Journalism Program, Cooperative Energy Futures, KRSM Radio, and other local partners.
