Festivities are celebrated along Massachusetts Avenue from the Capitol Theater block to Trinity Baptist Church. During this event, the sidewalks are widened, resulting in Massachusetts Avenue becoming reduced to two lanes. Parking will be restricted for several blocks in order to accommodate the large crowd expected for this popular event.

The 13th Year!

kids at feast of the eastThe festival is a collaboration of the Town of Arlington, the residents and businesses of East Arlington (also known as Capitol Square).
The concept of celebrating the East Arlington community started 13 years ago. This event is fully funded and run by area businesses as well as East Arlington residents.
