The "Love, Peace and Soulfest" is being sponsored by the Police Athletic League and the local police district. It's just one part of the city's response to the August stand-off.
"I love living on this block," said Cynthia Muse, an informal block captain on 15th Street.
She says she was pleasantly surprised by the city's response after the standoff.
Officials from the Streets Department and managing director's office came to see what neighbors needed... and then delivered.
Mayor Kenney secured help from the Painters and Allied trade union to repair glass shattered by bullets so residents won't have to tap homeowners insurance or file a claim with the city.
Painters from the city did cosmetic repairs, streets employees cleaned out a lot, and Licenses and Inspections is preparing to take down an abandoned house, which she says will be a big improvement.
"We have the rat infestation, we have raccoons and possums back there and it's all from that house. That's the only house on that block that's empty to that degree that all these vermin are holed up in there."
Muse says Aug. 14 was a terrible day, but the response has been a bit of a silver lining.
