Start on the Street

Created in 2002, stART has become one of Central Massachusetts’ premier cultural events. In addition to the flagship September festival, stART also hosts additional events – one in May on North Main and a holiday-themed event in December.

Artists and crafters display and sell their works, from oil paintings jewelry and photography to ceramics, lithographs, quilts, and animation, and more we haven't thought up yet! A wide variety of street performers join the fun with larger bands and stage acts. Local food vendors serve a variety of dishes - including vegan friendly options - as well as cultural organizations providing information about their programs.

Our 2011 events attracted over 65,000 people - thank you all for supporting the local economy and buying handmade!

stART On The Street is actively seeking artists and performers of all genres from all over New England as well as volunteers, food vendors and organizations!
