Imagine a workday that starts anywhere from noon to 2 PM and doesn’t wrap up until somewhere between 9 PM and midnight. Imagine most of that time spent standing, on your feet, twisting, bending down, hovering near open flames. No time for a break.

The Gathering by the Waters festival is a meeting of three different tribes – Latino, Native, and Polish Americans of the Lincoln Village neighborhood. The event will celebrate the three cultures and give them a chance to break bread together, and enjoy music, a parade, and a peace offering ceremony at sunset.

The festival is being organized by Urban Anthropology, Inc. (UrbAn) where Llysa Spencer works as a cultural anthropologist.
