Get Inspired!
The 1.8-mile route will take you by some of New London's historic and community landmarks.
You'll get a sheet to have stamped at places along the way, and take in a variety of performances.
Groups will include The Raging Grannies and are returning for an encore performance of their provocative songs too!
Here's a sampling of some of the stops:
St. Francis House
Members of St. Francis House were the motivating force behind the founding the Homeless Hospitality Center in 2006. They continue to work on initiatives on homelessness, education, peace witness, anti-racism, food policy, youth empowerment and more.
