Edit - now SUNDAY due to rain @11am-10pm - First and possibly best is the annual #SomervilleMA #ArtBeat by our friends at #SomervilleArtsCouncil "approximately 100 craft, community, and food vendors on the street, we'll have two stages of music and a dance showcase at the Somerville Theater

ArtBeat 2024 Theme: WILD
At this year‘s festival, we will explore all that is #wild, and the myriad ways this word can be interpreted. Wild can convey that which is uninhabited, untamed and convey images like lushness, luxuriance, and nature in its pure unkempt form. Wild can also convey that which is feral, fierce, and unconventional. How will Somerville and all its artists and community members interpret this theme? We anticipate a wild ride. Whatever the art form or mode of expression, we seek performances and activities that are “out there,” weird, and exuberant. Let’s generate artistic expression by leaving polite society behind and wander into the wild."
