Auburn’s Parks and Recreation Department and Business Improvement District are partnering for a new summer series.
Described as offering family-friendly art, culture, and wellness activities, State Street Pulse will expose youth to art, music, yoga, and massage to spark creativity and promote well-being.
“This series is aimed to benefit young families. Exposing our youth to art making, student musical performances, yoga practice and massage can only benefit their wellbeing and spark creative energy and connection in our community,” said BID Executive Director Jesse Kline.
Ongoing activities are provided by AuburnRox and caricaturist Walt Schoonmaker.
