WHAT IS THE RAMBLE?

Here's what Jen Berger has to say:

"For those unfamiliar with The Ramble, it has been described as a free for
all in the old north end. It's a day to hold a variety of activities
throughout the neighborhood. Some major events this year include The
Old North End Parade, Crombie Street Block Festival, performances by
Very Special Arts at Studio STK, a community graffiti mural (made by YOU) at Kriya Studio, a bike parade, and a big closing party at 294 North Winooski Ave. Artists are encouraged to open their studios, businesses are encouraged to hold special offers or host artists work, residents are encouraged to hold yard sales, anything goes.....

Ramble On!"
