Miami, FL - Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle in conjunction with community partners from the City of Miami and Miami-Dade Police Departments, Miami-Dade Weed and Seed, and the Belafonte Tacolcy Center, will host a block party on Friday, March 21st, from 6:00 to 10:00 PM.

This Good Friday event, a family-oriented block party, will be held at the Belafonte Tacolcy Center located at 6161 NW 9th Avenue in Liberty City.  The event is aimed at encouraging the community to “take back their streets” and to promote goodwill between our local police and the residents of Liberty City.

There will also be food, music, and face painting for the children.
