Meet the mother-and-son team behind the motion.
TMJ4 News sat down with Yolonda “Yogi” Blair and her son, Tre Edwards, to tell the story behind Motion on Mead. A challenge Yogi faced while trying to showcase her new venture, Krav'n Soul, became the spark for a new opportunity for Racine's local businesses.

Before You Set Up Shop
01What days and times is Motion on Mead?
September 19 and 20, 2026, from 12 PM to 8 PM on both days.
02Why Mead Street?
Because Mead Street already has food, businesses, community, and motion. La Tapatia, Josephine's Home of the Lemon Pepper Taco, Butler Candy Land, Bajas, Wells Brothers, La Taquiza, the COP House, the neighborhood park, Tony Chambers with the DA9 Social Lounge food truck, and Snaps near Racine Street are already part of the area. Motion on Mead is about bringing more people out to eat, shop, walk, meet neighbors, and support what is already here.
03Why is there a vendor fee?
Putting on an organized, enjoyable, and safe event requires real resources. The vendor fee helps cover what is needed to create and operate the private gated vendor space. Standard spaces are $75 for one day or $125 for both days.
04Why is Motion on Mead the same weekend as Party on the Pavement?
Vendors and the community were already planning for that weekend. After Party on the Pavement announced a $600 vendor fee, some vendors began looking for another option. Motion on Mead gives those businesses and visitors another place to go without telling anyone where not to go.
05Why is the event two days?
So people do not have to choose. Visit Party on the Pavement one day and Motion on Mead the other, or come see Motion on Mead both days. The goal is to give Racine more places to gather and support local businesses.
