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.
