Frank Zappa Day Announced
. As part of the celebrations, the Mayor's office will issue a proclamation moving 'Frank Zappa Day' to September 19, a date significant because it marks the anniversary of Zappa's 1985 testimony on Capitol Hill in favor of free expression by recording artists at the Senate hearing instigated by members of the PMRC concerning censorship and record labeling. In addition, the stretch of Eastern Avenue between Conkling and Eaton Streets in Highlandtown will be marked 'Frank Zappa Way' with a ceremonial street sign to be unveiled for the dedication. Most of the events, including the outdoor dedication and free concert, will take place along this stretch of Eastern Avenue in the heart of the Highlandtown Arts and Entertainment District. Fresh off an international tour, Frank Zappa's son Dweezil and his band Zappa Plays Zappa will headline the concert on Sunday afternoon. The events are being produced by Clearpath Entertainment in collaboration with the Zappa family, the Southeast Community Development Corporation, Enoch Pratt Free Library and the Creative Alliance at the Patterson, in coordination with Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts on the dedication ceremony. The schedule includes: Saturday, September 18th Transportation and Parking: All are encouraged to use public transportation to the venue on Sunday. There is Free street parking available throughout the neighborhood on Sunday as well as a private lot that will be made available for free parking on the SE corner of O'Donnell and Conkling Streets.
