Join us as we bring Trash Bags to the Streets to Holyoke on June 24th! Help us keep the city clean while also getting a tour of epic murals!
Before we celebrate the vibrant Noche de San Juan, let’s come together to show some love to our beautiful city of Holyoke! Join us for “Trash Bags to the Streets,” a community clean-up event that aims to keep our city looking its best.
As we collect trash along and near Main St., we’ll also have the opportunity to tour the stunning murals that adorn our city. Not only will we be cleaning up our community, but we’ll also get to appreciate the artwork that makes our city unique and learn more about the stories they tell.
This event is all about unity and neighborhood pride. It’s a chance for us to come together, get to know our neighbors, and do something we can all be proud of.
