Mark your calendar for the return of the city’s largest art festival, Cambridge Celebration of the Arts, taking place Friday, June 16, 2023.
For one dazzling evening, City Hall and Dickson Street will come to life with more than 40 professional artists showcasing their talents to audiences on three separate stages.
“As we look to create welcoming, vibrant spaces that everyone can enjoy, this festival does just that, creating a wonderful atmosphere for both the community to enjoy and local artists to showcase their talents,” said Mayor Jan Liggett. “I encourage everyone across the city, throughout the region, family and friends to come and enjoy the festival and the talented artists taking part.”
“This year’s festival has it all, from painters, poets and musicians to acrobats, jugglers and crafters,” said Leanne Bond, recreation coordinator for the city.
“There will be vendors on site, including artisan, crafters and makers, a variety of food trucks and even a live stone carving demonstration.
And, as part of the city’s 50th anniversary, we are encouraging residents to dress up in 70’s inspired outfits for a chance to win prizes.”
