For this event, the street is planned to be closed to traffic and the right-of-way will be filled with art activities, a curated selection of small arts-focused vendors, unique food trucks, live music and community focused information kiosks.The Grand Avenue Festival is hosted by the Grand Avenue Members Association (GAMA), a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit neighborhood group.
