Can we get a round of applause for STITCH Design Shop for helping us turn regular cardboard into a✨cardboard city ✨ for the MESStival? They built us an entire city out of tape, boxes, and pure imagination. Hopefully you fellow Winston locals can recognize a few of these buildings 👀 Thanks for helping us prove that all you need is creativity, cardboard, and a little bit of glue to build something amazing 💛💛💛 (fb)

From 3:30-6:30 pm, join us for a special Safe Kids Day event in partnership with Safe Kids Northwest Piedmont at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Brenner Children’s Hospital Pediatric Trauma Center. This nationwide initiative raises awareness about preventable injuries — the No. 1 cause of death in children in the United States — through engaging, hands-on activities. Safe Kids and their partners will provide education to keep your children safe this summer. We’ll keep the fun rolling with kid-powered activities, including a Kaleideum Kids Bike Parade! Decorate your bike, don your helmet, and join the parade as we celebrate safe riding and the joy of movement. As the sun goes down, the night will light up along 4th Street for drag race-style street sprints featuring both professional and amateur bikers in a competitively charged atmosphere along restaurant row. Street Sprint Racing will take place from 7-9 pm. AND there will be free LIVE MUSIC all evening! Don’t miss this exciting evening in downtown Winston-Salem!
