SUMMARY:Music Under Glass: A Westside Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Kicking the series off\, MFnMelo will perform tracks from his forthcoming EP’s “Shapes Of Transition” and “Limbo: Living In My Brain Occasionally”\, which showcases some of Melo’s most vulnerable work to date!

Melo will be accompanied by a band\, additional vocalist and maybe even some pivotal guests. Just as the songs will be stripped down\, so shall the layers between artist and the listeners. This show will run as a soundtrack to the life and career of MFnMelo. The ups and down. The wins and losses! Full on pivotal experience for those old and new to what MFnMelo has to offer! *This program is for all ages\, however\, please note that some lyrics contain profanity*  \nTickets: Free with registration. Space is limited; if you register and are no longer able to make it\, please let us know so we can open up the ticket to someone else. \nAccommodations: If you’d like to request accommodations\, please email Bendi at bqian@garfieldpark.org.

SUMMARY:EEEEEATSCON
DESCRIPTION:EEEEEATSCON is a two-day food experience built in the spirit of a music festival\, but with restaurants as the headliners. Created and produced by the popular restaurant discovery platform The Infatuation\, EEEEEATSCON is designed for people who want more from a food festival than just tasting-sized portions and cooking demonstrations. The event features a highly curated group of local restaurants\, along with exciting imports from across the country\, often serving food you won’t find anywhere else. With live music performances throughout the day and panels from thought leaders and industry pioneers\, EEEEEATSCON is as much about connecting with a community and getting inspired as it is about eating and being entertained. Children 6 and under (and service dogs of all ages) get in free. There will be vegan\, vegetarian\, and gluten-free options. We are equal-opportunity eaters. \n\nNo refunds offered for this event unless there are extreme weather circumstances – for more information please review the FAQs
