Cherry Blossom Festival 2017

On Point This Year! Enjoy.

Same-Day HD Videos! Weekend in Review.

New Haven is home of many cool cats.  A few of them I talk to.  Consider me not a reporter, but more like an anthropologist from outer space.  I've come to this planet to find out what's good about it.  Here's what I've found.

0:00 - 0:18 Smilow Cancer Center sponsored a  bike ride throughout the city.
There were tons and tons of people who were riding in it.  Http://CloserToFree.Org

0:32 - 1:08 @CityseedNH Farmers Market (Wooster Sq).
The tomatoes and other vegetables were perspiring to the exposure this morning.

You can read more about NW Fashion on this page, presented by @on9Newhaven

The music in this video is Broken Social Scene, playing their song "Alive in '85"

Have a great rest of the weekend and stop back here again later in the week for more events.
If you're an organizer, get yourself some free publicity and post an event on the calendar!
People are actually using this site!  It achieves traffic of about 2000 per month.

Share it with your friends and let them know it's only getting better.

Ultimate Frisbee, Climbing, and Springtime (with Areabridges Music)

This is one of many videos that have yet to be produced.  Some of them are fun.  This one is kind of ambient.  The music is produced by Areabridges, an ingenious photographer and all-around nice fella. My goal is to get you to catch on to his great tunes, all of which are available for free download here, so please enjoy!  Listen to them on the mobile Soundcloud app, which is like Pandora only it's self-produced by the artists who create their own accounts.  

We filmed this (Tina Lindstrom and myself) yesterday afternoon between 5 and 7.  I edited it while she made dinner. I even had time to cut some vegetables while processing. It almost was ready to be watched by all of about 8pm.

If you make awesome videos about New Haven, and you'd like to share them, please do!  Can't offer you anything other than the opportunity to share.  I know you can share it on Facebook, but Nhv.Org offers the unique opportunity to save your files into a different kind of database, while sharing them in a different interface.  Have you ever gotten tired of the color "blue?"

Go To A Show.

The local music scene enters events directly into a google calendar.  This has been made possible by Miyas Gift Certificates.  Thanks Miyas!!!  I hear they're opening up an Italian-inspired sushi place called Momma Miyas.  That's only what I've heard.

There's events listed as far away as May!  If there's one community that knows how to work together on a great project, it's the music scene.  Thanks to everyone that has participated in this social experiment.  After just a month and a half after an initial announcement, the response has been amazing.  Now let's get people to go see some local music.  Here's what you've been missing!


To find out more about the bands that are listed on the calendar, you can google them, or better yet you can cross-reference them on a soon-to-be-developed Band List, which is still under construction.

Annual Youth Day Event on Saturday, January 14th.

You should come to youth day, and here's why.  "All we're gonna do is encourage you," sings Shaylah McQueen, in front of the library.   She's the project's Director of Expansion.

Youth Day is organized by a group of young people in New Haven, most notably the director, Sabir Abdussabur, who is currently at Amistad Academy.

The event will include contests, games and prizes.  The atmosphere will promote community, cooperation, and positivity.  The challenges are meant to encourage individuals to unlock their potential, and express themselves in creative ways.  There will be an emceeing contest, where poets improvise rhymes on the spot.  In addition, there will also be a beatmaking station, provided by Stereomedia.Org.  The station will provide kids each a 30-minute opportunity to compose a song on a computer.  The songs will later on be merged into the emceeing part of the event.  Among that contest, there will be others involving popular videogames like Rock Band and others.



Youth Day takes place on Saturday at the New Haven Library's Main Branch, located downtown at 133 Elm Street.  The public is fully invited, and it will be in full swing from 11am - 6pm.  Young people with any interest in observing or participating are precisely who this event has been designed for.


A preview of the event.

The event will also be summarized in a post-event documentary which will replace the graphic below, which will also be featured here on TownofNewHaven!  See Calendar for concise details.
