<p>The Bread and Roses Heritage Festival is a celebration of the
ethnic diversity and labor history of Lawrence, Ma. This annual
festival is celebrated on Labor Day in order to honor the most
significant event in Lawrence history: the 1912 Bread and Roses
Strike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We memorialize the event with a variety of music and dance,
poetry and drama, ethnic food, historical demonstrations, and
walking and trolley tours, all on or starting from Lawrence's
Common. We also host organizations continuing the struggle for
social justice today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bread and Roses is the only broadly multicultural festival in
Lawrence, the Immigrant City. And it is the only festival in the
region, which celebrates the true spirit of Labor Day, in the most
appropriate location, the site of the Bread and Roses Strike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The festival is a one-day ‘open air’ celebration. The date for
this year’s celebration is September 5, 2011 and historically runs
from 12 to 6pm.</p>
