Lineup of artists, food vendors at Topeka’s Get Down in T-Town event

This year’s Get Down in T-Town event will return for its fourth celebration of diversity in the Topeka community.

Sawab Hazim, event organizer, said he wants people to be able to come out and relax while having fun in a historic setting.

“When you actually experience something, it can change you,” Hazim said. “It can change your attitude on different things. Even in the neighborhood that we’re at, there’s a lot of people who don’t come over to that neighborhood a whole lot.”

Get Down in T-Town will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Brown v. Board of Education Mural, 1515 S.E. Monroe St.

The public is encouraged to bring lawn chairs and cash for the various food vendors. The event is free to attend.
