After years of planning, community meetings and a lot of digging, Farish Street Green is ready to open.
Three once-empty lots in the historic Farish Street district are now shaded green space, with about 100 new trees, a stage, and places to gather. It was designed with neighbors and built to help cool one of Jackson's hottest neighborhoods.
Join us for the grand opening:
Monday, October 5, 10:00 AM
Farish Street Green (between Amite St. and J.R. Meredith Dr.)
Remarks, ribbon cutting and refreshments. All are welcome.
RSVP appreciated: [email protected]
