WORCESTER, MA — The organizers of the stART on the Street festival will bring the event back in 2022 after two hiatus years following the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2022.

In a news released Wednesday, organizers said the one-day festival will resume events this year as part of Creative Hub Worcester. Specifics on what the event will look like in 2022 are forthcoming, with organizers pointing attendees to updates on the stART website.

"We’ve each taken time to recharge and rethink stART — from what we love and how we each contribute, to what stART’s place is in the ‘new normal,’ and how stART needs to evolve,” stART Director Tina Zlody said in a news release.
