This year several new features were added to this 20th annual African American Festival. Starting at noon on Friday, July 18, a few hours after the Prayer Breakfast at Indiana Avenue Missionary Baptist had ended, a Community Day commenced in the parking lot of the Toledo Urban Federal Credit Union’s Monroe Street Branch.
Food trucks, vendors, a bouncy house for the kids and a live band for the adults brought in hundreds of neighborhood residents to enjoy the daytime party.
Most impressively, perhaps, was that the credit union handed out free food tickets for the food trucks. The community day lasted until 3 p.m.
