Tour a transformational gallery and working studio led by a creative placemaking expert and see Montgomery’s story from a fresh, art-forward perspective. As you explore, gather insider tips on nearby cultural sites and meet local makers who keep our city’s pulse vibrant.

Outside, follow your nose to delicious local food trucks serving up fan favorites—perfect fuel for an afternoon packed with creativity and connection. Then get ready to cheer for Montgomery’s own Trew the Star, fresh off his run on American Idol, bringing a high-energy performance that keeps the crowd moving.

Between the beats, lean into what matters most: why voting is essential and how your voice shapes our neighborhoods. On-site voter engagement makes it easy to learn, register, and get involved.

All the while, 97.9 JAMZ is broadcasting live from the location—amplifying the vibe and turning the whole experience into a citywide celebration of art, music, culture, and civic pride.
