Bringing It All Back Home to Washington Square. Free concert with the Peace Poets, People of Earth, & BETTY

Geographically and spiritually, Washington Square has always been the center of the Village. Bohemiaโ€™s beating heart. A place to gather, whether to protest or just hang out, often with a guitar โ€“ and to dance! The signature event of each yearโ€™s Village Trip festival, this concert in the Park brings together a stellar selection of New York City talent: People of Earth, The Peace Poets and BETTY, the award-winning indie rock trio which (as Gloria Steinem puts it) โ€œspreads the most lasting kind of revolutionโ€.
