Why this matters in The Fort Worth
The Songs 4 Seeds event at The Cicada in South Main Village is a testament to Fort Worth 's thriving music scene and its ability to support local causes. By benefiting Opal's Farm, a community garden on the East Side, the event highlights the importance of sustainability and community development in the city. As a hub for community gardens, Fort Worth has seen the positive impact of such initiatives, and Opal's Farm is a prime example. With its mission to cultivate sustainability and community, the farm is an asset to the East Side, an area that has historically faced challenges related to food access and economic development. The event also underscores the city's rich cultural heritage, particularly in the context of Juneteenth, a holiday that has deep roots in Fort Worth's history, thanks in part to the efforts of Dr. Opal Lee, a local living legend.
