The Bedford Cultural District’s Music and Arts Festival, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, will still take place, even with the weather forecast calling for heavy rain and thunderstorms. Instead of being held outdoors on the Bedford Common, it is being moved indoors at First Parish Church, Unitarian Universalist, 75 Great Rd.
Please come and support the artists and musicians and enjoy the day!
People should enter First Parish through the Elm Street entrance.
The festival will feature live music performances, plus artisan and community vendors, art demos, mural painting, and more. Nearby galleries and cultural organizations will host open houses, and there will be a pop-up book sale and activities for the kids at the Bedford Free Public Library.
