This event was added last year and was such an amazing success we are excited to offer it again

We are excited to have Kerry St. Pierre as our feature artist.  Kerry is a graduate of Mass College of Art and Design.  She currently works at the Attleboro Arts Museum. In 2001 she entered her first Street Painting competition, taking home first place, and was instantly hooked! In 2012 she won 1st place (People’s Choice) at the Providence, R.I. Street Painting Festival, then again in 2013.  Also in 2013 and 2014 she took 1st place at the Expo for the Senses in Attleboro, MA. In 2014 she also took 2nd place and People’s Choice awards at the Chalk on the Walk in Cambridge, MA.  Then, in May of 2015, she won 1st place (Juror & People’s Choice) at the Cambridge Chalk on the Walk.

We are also excited to have Big Bill Reidy who will be providing musical entertainment through out the day. Bill  entertains audiences of all ages with music from a wide variety of genres, including Pop, Classic Rock, Folk, Blues, Jazz Standards, Country, R&B, Oldies and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
