Home Depot, a major sponsor of the event has generously donated a Nexgrill Gas Grill that will be raffled off to event attendees. Raffle tickets will be available at the ReachArts location 89 Burrill Street during the event.
This is a free community event, so there are no tickets to collect, but there will be donation jars for ReachArts at the locations where the maps are handed out
A big portion of the community came out last year to spend a few hours enjoying the beauty of Swampscott and the festival atmosphere. The Garden Art Walk will once again be about sharing art, gardens, stories, and friendships. It can be enjoyed in many ways, whether you stroll to activities in a new part of town or reconnect with neighbors right around the corner. All are welcome!
