At GNG, kids can be themselves, free to run and play, connect with friends and make new ones, and learn more about their community.

    The festival features educational tabling from MCM, environmental groups, local healthcare and public health organizations, area non-profits and schools, voting rights groups, and many youth-oriented organizations. This year, the GNG will be contributing 20% of all proceeds to District 13 neighborhoods with fewer resources (Bayview, Triangle, Baycreek).
