Shuttles to the 7th Annual Uptown Jazz Festival “I am happy to announce that I have partnered with Long Beach Transit to provide a shuttle service for Sixth District residents to the Uptown Jazz Festival.

Juneteenth Celebrations in the 6th, June 10th and June 15th!

Pop-Up Park by LINC On Saturday, June 16 th , the Office of Councilmember Dee Andrews is co-hosting a family-friendly community event with free food, games, activities, giveaways, and a jump house! In partnership with the City of Long Beach, LINC Housing, Enterprise Community Partners, and City Fabrick, we will be temporarily closing down Rhea Street from Long Beach Boulevard to half a block east, demonstrating what a potential new open space might look like in our community. LINC Housing, who is leading the development of the vacant lot directly adjacent to the event, will be present to share information about their project and would like to hear more from you. Several community partners will also be at the tabling at the event, including the YMCA who will be a groundfloor tenant for the proposed development. The event is a free public event for the neighborhood so make sure to invite your family and friends--we hope to see you there!
