HEARTS AND HANDS FESTIVAL
An annual event that closes Jasper Street (along side the Church) for an art festival / block party day. Local artists are invited to share their wares on the street. Local, neighborhood talents are invited to perform on the stage. There is dancing (Mummers, Irish Folk, Square, etc.), poetry reading, face painting, pony rides, and plenty of food.
This event was the brainchild of Othmar Carli, who while renovating and restoring the Church, wanted to move the beauty of the church into the street.
The Banner on Jasper Street announces the coming of the Hearts and Hands Festival!
Face painting and crafts attracts kids of all ages!
Pony rides are a favorite for the young children!
And always lots of dancing in the street!
