Experience Art in the Park This Saturday

The first South Natick Art in the Park event will be held this Saturday, featuring 34 local artists.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 24 near the corner of Union and Pleasant Street and Route 16, in South Natick, the artists will fill 28 booths in the park directly across from the Bacon Free Library, and next to Corrado’s and The Charles River Coffee House.

The free event will happen rain or shine and is family-friendly.
