Bread & Roses Labor Day Festival 2012

The Bread & Roses Heritage Committee has been putting on a labor day festival for 26 years located on the Campagnone Common in Lawrence. The labor day festival has become a highly anticipated annual event in the city of Lawrence where members of the community join together to celebrate the true reason for the holiday. Every year the Bread & Roses Heritage Committee assembles a diverse and impressive list of performers, vendors, speakers, and organizations. In 2012, for the centennial of the Bread & Roses Strike, the annual labor day festival will be unlike any other heretofore hosted. With plans still in the works, the Bread & Roses Heritage Committee is committed to making the 2012 festival its biggest yet with world-renowned performers and guests.
