Takin' It to the Streets is an international festival where artistic expression, spirituality and urban creativity inspire social change.
The festival and its companion summit honor Dr. King's legacy in Marquette Park. The 1000 Mile March leads into the park, and the afternoon brings music, dance, family activities, inspirational talks and a bazaar alongside panel discussions and relational meetings on the justice issues of our day.
