The City of Avondale extends an invitation to one and all for a community-centric event on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at the Avondale Civic Center Amphitheater and City Hall from 5 to 8 p.m. This free gathering promises an evening steeped in commemoration with a roster that includes keynote speeches and educational sessions, alongside an array of live music and dance performances. Anchoring the cultural experience will be an assortment of crafts and booths from both local businesses and community vendors.
