Beverly Main Streets Seeks Volunteers For Summer Festival Season

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly Main Streets is looking for volunteers as it heads toward its busy summer festival season.

The nonprofit organization whose mission is to create events that invigorate the downtown and promote downtown businesses is planning the annual Art Fest in June and this year is attempting to host two summer block parties — one in July and one in September.

Art Fest is planned for Cabot Street on June 15 with applications now being accepted for vendors, artists and music.

After weather issues hampered last year's attempt at a block party, Beverly Main Streets organizers said two events are being planned for this summer with a Summer Block Party set for July 27 on Cabot Street and an End-of-Summer Block Party planned for Sept. 21 on Rantoul Street.

Beverly Main Streets is seeking members for the planning committee for those events plus day-of event volunteers.

Those looking to help out are encouraged to fill out this survey to let Beverly Main Streets officials know of your interest.
