This year's festival, which runs through Sept. 29, includes 10 days of free activities at dozens of East Village/LES community gardens. Each garden features various performances, concerts, workshops, and other related events. Check the LUNGS website here for the day-by-day, garden-by-garden schedule.
The opening night event at La Plaza Cultural on the SW corner of Avenue C and Ninth Street starts at 6 ... showcasing Avon Faire, performing traditional Celtic and English folk songs, and Source and Abdoulaye Diabate, providing "a vibrant and danceable mix of music of Guinea and Mali with a jazz inflection."

We are big Avon Faire fans. Looking forward to this.
I love community gardens but in this day and age of a housing crisis we need to think about converting some gardens to affordable housing. Especially the small gardens that are shade bound and barely have visitors.
