Marblehead Festival of Arts Volunteer Information Party
Come to the Marblehead Festival of Arts Volunteer Information Party April 25
The
Marblehead Festival of Arts annual Volunteer Information Party will be held
Sunday, April 25, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, at the Corinthian Yacht Club, 1 Nahant
Street, on Marblehead Neck. Light refreshments will be served, and a cash bar will be
available.
You
don’t have to be an artist to volunteer for the Festival! The Marblehead
Festival of Arts is a diverse group made up of all kinds of folks who have one
thing in common— an appreciation of the arts and the desire to promote them in
our community.
This
all-volunteer organization doesn’t just produce the premiere local arts
festival, which showcases visual and fine arts exhibits and hosts performances,
films and a wide variety of family events and entertainment, but they also plan
and produce a year-round series of events sponsored by the Festival.

“When you volunteer for the Festival, you
become part of a great legacy here in town,” said Maureen McKinnon, Volunteer
Chairperson. “Next year will be our 50th Festival, and every one of
those fifty years was the result of great folks coming together and working
hard, but having a great time doing it.”
Volunteering for the Festival is an easy way to support local arts, give back to
our community, and make new friends. Please stop by on Sunday April 25 for a
fun introduction to the opportunities available.

and information booths, run such events as the Model Boat Building, a Sand Sculpture
Competition, Children’s Festival, Street Festival and Artisans’ Marketplace and
