Family fun for all ages is a highlight of the Marblehead Festival of Arts, to be held this year on July 1-4. Children’s Festival is set for Saturday, July 2, from noon until 3 pm outside Abbot Hall.
By popular demand, Children’s Festival returns after a three-year hiatus. According to chairperson Sharman Pollender, children ages 10 and younger will come to Abbot Hall for a studio-like experience geared totally to them, including crafts, performers and movement fun.
There is a full schedule of talent lined up for children’s pleasure:
