Marblehead Festival of Arts Presents Performing Arts

The outdoor concert series at scenic Crocker Park, overlooking Marblehead Harbor at 11 Front Street, is among the most anticipated happenings at the Marblehead Festival of Arts, to be held this year on June 30-July 4. Performing Arts entertainers, on stage over five nights and three days, offer a packed schedule of outstanding local and regional artists.

“For our 47th Annual Performing Arts line-up, we are proud to present an eclectic mix of 19 dynamite individuals and groups with tons of talent, heart and soul to entertain fans of all ages,” stated Brian Wheeler, Committee Chair. “We hope neighbors, friends, families and visitors from all over will come out to our beautiful, natural concert venue and share the energy and the experience.”

On Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, beginning at noon, the Local Artists Showcase will highlight upcoming artists and local favorites. Evening entertainment on Saturday through Wednesday will feature a wide variety of incredible acts. All performances are free, and many of the artists will be offering their CDs and merchandise for sale. Wheeler says, “Everyone is invited to bring picnic baskets and blankets and take home the music of their favorite performers.” He adds, “We never say the ‘R’ word, but if it comes, we’re still a go at Crocker Park! If it gets a bit wet, we’ll try to get the show in. Just listen for the music, and come join us!” Please note that, in the event of rain on Sunday evening, July 1 only, the program will move to the Gerry #5 at 210 Beacon Street so that the Film Festival may be screened.
