Downtown Lawrenceville Road Closure Update during PAWfest
The Family Promise Bed Race is another event in downtown Lawrenceville on Saturday. It will take place on the square throughout the morning and roads around the square will be closed to traffic. Please plan an alternate route to the Lawn and allow a little extra time on Saturday. We recommend parking in the Lawn Parking lot, the Luckie Street Parking Deck (across from the Lawn) or City Hall's parking lot on South Clayton.

Live Music with Jeremy Keen at 11:15AM
Music with Jeremy Keen
Guitarist/singer/songwriter - Jeremy is adept at finding inspiration in the most uninspiring and mundane of daily activities, usually, resulting in songs steeped in escapism, of love lost, or of drinking beer in the basement. Many times, it is all three at once. His music draws inspiration from the likes of Neil Young, The Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, The Byrds, and Ryan Adams.
