Happy Fourth! I’ll be celebrating at the Marblehead Festival of Arts. It runs through Sunday, July 5. Highlights include: live music at Crocker Park; an Artisan’s Marketplace outside Abbot Hall (c. 1870s) Saturday, July 4, 10 am-5 pm and Sunday, July 5, 10 am-4 pm; a Model Boat Building workshop (for kids accompanied by adults) outside Abbot Hall Saturday, July 4, 11 am-2 pm followed by the Festival Regatta on Redd’s Pond at 3 pm; and the Photography exhibit at Old Town House (c. 1727) as well as the Crafts exhibit at Abbot Hall. There are plenty of other attractions to consider which are described on the festival website. Give it a look.
