Blackout Anniversary Ossington (2009)

The street was filled with happiness and live music. After a procession north to Dundas street, local activist group the Public Squares installed Praça Portugal | Portugal Square in honour of the local Portuguese community. Then they turned off the street lights and we all danced. A night to remember.

Featuring live music by Richard Underhill and the Kensington Horns, Michael Louis Johnson and Band,Samba Elegua and many more.
