Mariachi Alley Party & Mural Celebration

On Friday, May 5, 2017 neighbors, artists and those who love Highlandtown celebrated the clean-up and transformation of our alley–including new waterway themed murals–on the 400 block of S. Conkling Street. We celebrated our waterways and communities from the Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf of Mexico with food, music, dancing, art and even a live crab!
