5 Things: Women Love The World Festival

1. Stomp to some music. Bring your kid to Spoke The Hub (748 Union Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues) at 10 a.m. for a Free City Stomp Music Trial Class. Serving children ages 6 months to 4 years, City Stomp was nominated as one of the city's top music programs by Nick Jr. and GoCityKids. Enjoy a free session before you sign up for 10 weekly classes beginning April 6 for $215, which includes a professionally produced Orange Line City Stomp CD.

2. Go underground. Go to Branded Saloon for Underground Hip-Hop Night. You’ll enjoy a night of lesser known beats by Stillborn Identity (from Pittsburgh, PA), Jack Wilson, People with Teeth, and Cornelius the Third.

3. Spread the love. Don’t miss Women Love the World Fest. This three-day festival and fundraiser, held at LaunchPad Brooklyn (721 Franklin Ave), will celebrate women artist-activists and their contributions to bettering our world community. The festival, co-curated by Caits Meissner, Karla Rodriguez and Lehna Huie, will feature a visual art exhibition, art for social change panel, short film screenings, live music, poetry and on-site activism engagement.

4. Bring the ruckus. Tonight is Roots & Ruckus at Jalopy Theater (315 Columbia St). Enjoy a night of folk, old-time and blues music. You will see and hear people playing banjos, guitars, washboards, tub-basses, kazoos and harmonicas. This is the gig to go to for real deal folk music in New York City.

5. Move your car. Alternate side parking rules are in effect today.
