For the past few years, the businesses on Kingman Street have experienced struggles and financial hardship due to obstacles such as construction & COVID, but throughout it all, they have done their best to be patient, adapt, and persevere. This year, we want to put on a community event that helps show that the businesses on Kingman Street are stronger than ever, while also giving back to the commu
nity simultaneously. We are closing off Kingman Street this time to celebrate, as we invite the community to this FREE outdoor block party! Albans For The Future, with proceeds from the event being donated to SAFF to assist in their mission to help the revitalization of the St. Albans community. Together, we hope to be able to bring a FREE, fun, family-friendly event to Kingman Street including but not limited to a large scale Concert, Food & Drinks, and more! As Freddie Mercury once said, “I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile” - we feel this is exactly the kind of event Kingman Street needs! We hope iconic songs like “We Will Rock You”, “We Are The Champions”, “Another One Bites The Dust”, and “Bohemian Rhapsody” will bring smiles to people’s faces across generations. Queen, like Kingman Street, dealt with obstacles throughout their career and faced them head on, hence why we felt Queen was a perfect musical match for this event. This live band tribute to Queen will be an epic, high energy show, while celebrating Kingman Street and bringing the community together. The Music of Queen on Kingman at Kingman Fest…it will “Rock You!”
