Festival Time Begins

It’s “Festival” time in Downtown Warren with the start of the African American Achievers Festival Friday June 6th through Sunday June 8th.

The two “Festivals” on the Square, African and then Italian, showcase the “Best” in what we have in Warren as well as our imperfections.

Again we will be hearing the argument from the Downtown Businesses that the Festivals “hurt” their patronage.

It was last year we mentioned in our “Festival Post” that the City needed to take the lead and find a compromise with the Business Community, and the Festivals, that would benefit both, but as par for the course, nothing has been done to seek a solution and we now go through the same yearly exercise of complaints.
