Celebrations for Michael Jackson’s birthday have grown from a block party around his boyhood home to a three-day festival set to start Thursday in what local officials and event promoters hope will become an annual affair.

The Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts focuses not only on the the famous musician, but also on encouraging new artists.

“(We want to) let them know it’s a good thing to develop the arts,” Karvin Johnson, one of the event’s promoters, said. “Develop your creativity.”
Previous events celebrating Jackson’s birthday on Aug. 29 have centered around his boyhood home at 2300 Jackson St. This year’s events — the fifth since he died in 2009 — have grown to encompass the nearby Roosevelt High School campus and will feature local and new artists.

Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, spearheaded the event, Johnson said, and she and other family members, including Michael Jackson’s children, will attend.
“She wants to set something in place that will be something to commemorate and celebrate Michael’s legacy,” Johnson said.
Johnson said he expects about 5,000 people a day at the festival, including people from Brazil, Canada and China.

The festival kicks off Thursday with an orchestra and choir made up of Gary students singing and playing a medley of Michael Jackson songs. The Gary Community School Corp. held an audition earlier this summer for the lead singer.
“Michael Jackson has always been one of the most beloved if not most beloved artists in R&B history,” Charmella Greer, spokeswoman for the school district, said. “Students, whether young or older, it doesn’t matter, they’re excited about (the festival).”

The musical performance will be followed by a special ceremony at Roosevelt High School Thursday afternoon, which will include remarks by local officials.

Other highlights include a stage that will be next to the former Jackson home for new and emerging artists, a chance to learn record scratching and to play on drums, and a trivia competition that will, of course, focus on the Jackson family. Saturday will include a car show and a dance competition that will be judged by Michael Jackson’s children, Johnson said.

The festival will conclude Saturday night with a live musical performance by the band Mindless Behavior and fireworks.
“The main thing is to encourage kids that you can express yourself through art,” Johnson said.

Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said she sees the festival as a key piece to a week of events in Gary, including the Fuller Center Build, a service project that will build four homes in the area of the Jackson family’s former home.

“I think it will be a very positive even,” Freeman-Wilson said. “...I think it provides a new look, a positive look (of Gary).”

Both Freeman-Wilson and Johnson said they would like to see this event continue and grow each year. Johnson said the event promoters had looked at previous Jackson celebrations to see what worked and what didn’t to form this year’s plans and hope to add even more events in coming years, including possibly a circus.

Another event promoter, Sharon Chamber, a Gary businesswoman who became involved after the Jackson family contacted her about home insurance for the house at 2300 Jackson St.,, said she would love to see the event become a regular tourist attraction like Graceland, Elvis Presley’s former home.
“I was just kind of hoping this becomes an annual thing… a national tribute to Michael,” she said.

Freeman-Wilson said she would like to work with the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority to find a way to quantify what the festival brings to the city, including in money spent. “We know it’s going to be a positive thing,” she said. “The question then becomes what does it look like and how much.”

Gary Renovating Homes On Block Michael Jackson Grew Up On Ahead Of Three-Day Festival

August 27, 2014 6:59 PM
by Bob Roberts..

(CBS) — The sounds of saws and hammers have filled the air this week along the street in Gary where pop idol Michael Jackson grew up in advance of a three-day festival marking his birthday.

Prison inmates and volunteers from the Fuller Center for Housing are building the new home and rehabbing two others down the street. Even Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson wore a blue “I Heart Gary” T-shirt and a carpenter’s apron as she hung siding on the new house being built 100 feet from the Jackson homestead. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joined her and toured the three homes, all on the 2300 and 2400 blocks of Jackson Street.

“To the extent that we have people visiting, we want to make sure that we have a place that we would want them to visit,” she said.

Pence inspected the work, hung a piece of siding on the new home, at 2332 Jackson St., then met the pop star’s mother, who is in town for the festival, which begins Thursday and runs through Saturday. He’d never met Katherine Jackson, and said talking with her as he sat on the sofa in the living room of 2300 Jackson Street was a “pinch me moment.” “I said, ‘One of the dreams of my life was to meet your son,’” he said. “But this is pretty close.”

The Jackson family is hosting a three-day festival that begins in the morning, on Jackson Street and at adjacent Roosevelt High School, directly in back of the homestead. While Michael Jackson did not attend Roosevelt, his older brothers did.

The Jackson family has rehabilitated their old homestead, on the southwest corner of 23rd Avenue and Jackson Street, and the home next door, at 2306 Jackson. The family has purchased 2312 Jackson and intends to rehab that home as well, Freeman-Wilson said.

The three-day festival will include live music on two stages, a car show, a dance competition and steppers show, a kids’ pavilion and a petting zoo. Hours are 12 noon until 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday.

Gary Renovates ‘Street of Dreams’ Houses

By Christin Nance Lazerus cnance@post-trib.com August 27, 2014 8:26PM

GARY — The Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts will put the focus on his hometown starting Thursday, but the street he grew up on is a hive of activity as it gets a facelift.

Gov. Mike Pence visited the 2300 and 2400 blocks of Jackson Street on Wednesday afternoon to highlight the “Jackson Street of Dreams” project, and he met with Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson during his visit.

Volunteers from the Fuller Center for Housing, NIPSCO, Centier Bank, the city of Gary, the Indiana Department of Correction and elsewhere rebuilt one house and rehabbed two others.

“This is a great project to restore what is in my mind one of the most famous streets in America,” Pence said. “We talked about (Katherine Jackson’s) memories of living here for about 20 years, and she said it was a nice neighborhood.”

More than $100,000 in private funding and material donations has helped make the project possible, including about $53,000 from the state correction department. Several inmates from Westville Correctional Facility worked on the houses, and many donated the stipends they received.

Pence and Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson were struck by their generosity.
“I think it shows that people who are in prison do want to contribute, and they aren’t necessarily bad people, they just did one bad act,” Freeman-Wilson said. On Wednesday, she was mowing grass and pulling weeds to help with the project.

State Sen. Earline Rogers, D-Gary, was excited to see the revitalization around Roosevelt Career and Technical Academy, her alma mater.
“I’ve been talking to people I know who live on this street, and I can tell how elated they are to see such positive things happening,” Rogers said.

The Fuller Center will present keys to the first new homeowner on Thursday afternoon. Two other homeowners also have been chosen. Each has been putting in work on their new houses. “It’s not a giveaway,” Fuller Center president David Snell said. “The families help rehab the properties, and they receive long-term, low-interest loans, which in a lot of cases is less than renting. It’s an enlightened way to give.”
Freeman-Wilson got in touch with the Fuller Center last year, which helped get the ball rolling.
“We put our heads together and here we are,” Snell said.

He said the three houses are just the start of a larger project envisioned for the area and Gary at large.

“The goal is to get these two blocks shaped up, and they will become a beacon of hope to similar efforts in other parts of the city,”
Snell said.

GARY — The Michael Jackson Festival of the Arts kicked off with music and dancing, but the real star was the King of Pop’s mother.

Katherine Jackson sat on a bench outside the family’s former house in Gary at 2300 Jackson Street and watched as students from Wirt-Emerson High School kicked OFF the festivities with a medley of some of her son’s most famous songs.

Katherine Jackson organized the event to honor her son’s 56th birthday and his fifth since he died in 2009.

Fans gathered around the fence surrounding the house, cheering and waving as Katherine Jackson walked out of the home and sat down.

They didn’t ignore the music, though, as many danced along to the orchestra, which is getting ready to tour China with Michael Jackson’s music. Rovelli Grib, the orchestra’s director, said the performance was a good chance for the students to practice before their trip. “We loved it,” he said.

Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson welcomed the fans to the event, pointing out the work done by the Fuller Center’s work to renovate four homes on the same block, which was still going on when the festival started.
“People see that we are rebuilding the city of Gary,” she said during her opening remarks.

Several local residents came by to see that work, including Ron and Peggy Smith of Portage. Although the couple said they aren’t Michael Jackson fans, they have come out to his house two other times since he died. “I just wanted to see what’s going on,” Ron Smith said, adding that the couple made a point to get there early so they could see the renovation work by the Fuller Center.
Keita Saad making the trip from her home in Cleveland. Saad said she hadn’t visited the Jackson home before because work usually got in the way during previous events at the home. She decided to not let work get in her way this year, though.“If anything, Michael Jackson taught us to seize the day,” she said, handing out pamphlets with a drawing of his face.

The festival is set to continue Friday and Saturday with musical acts and a dance competition.

The Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts kicked off Thursday at Jackson's birth home in Gary.

By Evelyn Holmes
Thursday, August 28, 2014
GARY, Ind. (WLS) --
A three-day festival to celebrate Michael Jackson's birthday is doing more than just remembering the singer - it's celebrating young artists and helping revitalize part of Gary, Indiana.

The Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts kicked off Thursday at Jackson's birth home in Gary.

Willie Osborn, 7, says he loves everything about the "King of Pop."

"I just love Michael Jackson so much because of all of his dance moves," said Osborn.

The young dancer is one of several artists performing as hundreds of faithful fans flocked to Gary to celebrate the star's legacy.

"Coming back to this house is very emotional for me, extremely emotional. Yeah, but I'm enjoying myself," said Rebbie Jackson, Michael Jackson's sister.

It's happening at the first-ever Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts.

"We're hoping that this builds onto something that will be an annual event, sort of like a tourist attraction, so to speak, sort of like Graceland," said Sharon Chambers, event promoter.

While previous celebrations have been a block party around Jackson's boyhood home, this year's festival at 2300 Jackson Street focused on the pop star's August 29 birthday.

"Since Michael passed, fans have been coming from all over the world to see the house where Michael Jackson was born. So, I knew I had to do something then," said Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's mother.

This year's event, spearheaded and paid for by Jackson's mother Katherine Jackson, will have another purpose - to give something back to the people of Gary.

"This is an example to show that, to really see the community come together," said Karen Freeman-Wilson, Gary Mayor.

As a part of the three-day festival, non for profit Fuller Center Build will give away several renovated homes to deserving families in an effort to bring the block to some splendor. John Pippins is a recipient.

"I grew up, I'm right around Mike's age, little under him, and that means a whole lot. Today, that means a whole lot," said Pippins.

The event is the fifth of its kind in Gary since Jackson died in 2009, when the "King of Pop" was 50. Many here say as long as his music remains, he lives on.

"I'm proud, it makes me proud to say I'm from Gary, and I'm from a place where such an artist - a pop king - came from," said Dinah Lynn Biggs, Gary resident and local radio personality.

The festival runs through Saturday and includes music, performances, and food at Jackson's home at 2300 Jackson Street and Roosevelt High School at 730 West 25th Avenue in Gary.

On Sunday, the city will host its Michael Jackson Tribute.

I've been wondering the same thing. Why people ask their autographs and what they are going to do with them, frame them? I'm genuinely curious what those people are thinking when they ask kids to sign something, and even more curious to know what goes in PPB heads when they give autographs.

I'm sorry but people asking their autographs just encourage people around them to exploit and use kids for more and more, but they are just Michael's kids, not famous for something they have themselves achieved.
 
^I agree, I feel endearment and I care about Paris, Prince and Blanket but I'm a fan of their father, they haven't done anything on their own right to deserve a celebrity status other than being Michael Jackson's children. It seems fame it's not earned anymore but given frivolously to people who generate headlines in the media. Those people asking for autographs should stop considering themselves fans of PPB because if it continues those vultures they have as relatives won't stop using them for their own benefit and gain.
