Rise & Remember Festival

In commemoration of the third anniversary of the death of George Floyd the George Floyd Global Memorial (GFGM) and the community at George Floyd Square are hosting a Rise & Remember Festival, Saturday, May 27, from 1:00 to 9:00 pm at 38th and Chicago. And with a generous donation of $1000 from the NHLC Endowment Fund, Nokomis Heights has become a sponsoring congregation for the event!

This year’s theme is Ubuntu—make the impossible, possible. In the spirit of Ubuntu, we pay recognition to our neighbors, caretakers, protesters, community members, and the thousands of people who came and made George Floyd Square possible and who continue to work to bring justice and change to Minneapolis.

The festival will include live performances, a self-care fair, a sports zone, a kids zone and free food for kids, art exhibition, food from a diverse set of vendors, mutual aid, black-owned business vendors, inspirational speakers, and more.
