PICNIC FOR
PEACE:
The
Association of Artists for a Better World
presents the 5th Annual Concert For Peace at Mel Lastman
Square, on July 29, 2006, featuring 13 dynamic
and exciting blues and roots artists running continuously

upon the universal power and language of music to bring
artists and members of our diverse community together to
share a day of tranquility and good vibes in the square.
This event is part of a world wide series to raise our
combined voices to the world to encourage people to think,
talk, and promote themes of peace peace; create an
environment of cultural acceptance and understanding for all
people to live together in harmony. The journey to peace
starts inside.
WHAT:
Picnic For Peace is a FREE family day of Blues and Roots Music with
underlying themes of peace. It is a festival for the
entertainment of our audience, not a peace rally, so there
are no marches, no signs, no politicians, and no speeches.
The music is the message! Enjoy a great day of blues and
roots in the square!

two blocks north of Sheppard Avenue. By TTC, take the Yonge
line subway (exit North York Centre). Getting there couldn't
be easier when you
