The Arlington Tourism and Economic Development Committee and the town of Arlington are pleased to announce the return of Arlington Alive, a season-long selection of cultural and family-friendly events celebrating the arts across town this summer. Most notably, Arlington will come alive with the second annual Summer Arts Block Party on Saturday, July 12, 2014, for a free all-day event that celebrates the arts in the community with live music, artisan and craft booths, food vendors, and activities for children.

Visitors can hear an eclectic mix of live musical performances on multiple stages throughout the day, including bluegrass and western swing with the Bagboys, old time rock and roll with the Band That Time Forgot, and kid-approved upbeat acoustic tunes with Ben Rudnick & Friends. Also hitting the stage are dance performances by Intimations Dance and Calamity Dance Company, film, and theatre presentations.
In addition to live performances, the Summer Arts Block Party will also feature an Arts Promenade, lining the closed-to-cars street with artisan and craft booths for unique visual artists to display their wares. Close by will be the Food Pavilion, serving up a wide array of food from Arlington-based restaurants for purchase. To top it all off, the Family Arts Area will boast interactive games, crafts, and activities suitable for the whole family.

The Summer Arts Block Party takes place in Arlington center on Saturday, July 12, 2014, from 12–5 pm at Broadway Plaza, and from 5:30–8:30 pm at the Regent Theatre at 7 Medford Street.

About Arlington Alive
In June 2012, Arlington arts organizations, businesses, town officials, and supporters created Arlington Alive as a new way to celebrate and promote the town’s creative economy. The Arlington Cultural Council provided a seed-funding grant for the Summer Arts Block Party, a program coordinated by the Arlington Committee on Tourism and Economic Development, Arlington Center for the Arts, and the Regent Theatre. The mission of Arlington Alive is to create collaborative opportunities to celebrate the arts in Arlington.
