Inspired by urban artist Luke Jerram's Urban Slide project in Bristol, Slide the Main, a community initiative, is looking to turn Main Street (14th and 16th ave) into a GIANT WATER SLIDE open to all public.
This Father's day (June 21 2015), bring your floaties, bring your costumes and bring your rubber duckies, Slide the main will be Mount Pleasant's first water slide bringing together the community for a day of awesomeness under the sun. We are hoping to join the 150,000 attendees to be coming out to the 11th annual Car Free Day (WE ARE NOT CAR FREE DAY, but we want to join their party!). This will be a community effort so bring your talents and skills to this awesome party!
