The festival is a fantastic excuse to get out of the classroom and hospital, soak up some sun, and support local artists and talent. Take a walk on the streets of downtown to admire the colorful and imaginative fine arts and crafts from the young and old. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to start your own project or find that one piece of artwork that completes your living room décor.
When you’ve worked up an appetite from all the walking, head over to the food stalls to satisfy your hunger. Here you can try foods from Cyprus, Greece, Nigeria, Philippines, Spain, Turkey, and more! Make sure you bring enough money so you can try everything. You’ll have so many mouth-watering options, you’ll probably have to come back on multiple days just to try a little bit of everything!
After you’ve had your fill from around the world, settle in for some live entertainment. There are multiple stages around the festival for you to choose from, so you’re bound to find something you like from jazz music to Irish dancing to indie rock.
Everyone deserves a break. Take some time off this weekend, and check out Arts in the Heart!
