Sunday, September 17, 2023, 2-4pm ET on the Boston Common, near the Park Street MBTA Station and the Brewer Fountain
A program of Music, Song, Arts, & Peace Education led by emcee Dawn Duncan including brief presentations by peacemakers such as Nichol Brewer-Lowry, Rev.

Vernon Walker about their work, musical performances by Miranda Henne, Toussaint Liberator, Alastair Moock, and others, and art activities for children.

We have planned and organized the Boston area celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace each year since 2010. Here is the link to info on this year's theme Actions for Peace: Our ambition for the #GlobalGoals.
