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 11th Year!
The 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 11
years ago when selectman JACK HURD brought his idea to businesses and
residents in the area. Since then, he has led been very instrumental
in carrying out this festival as it has grown. This event is fully
funded and run by area businesses as well as East Arlington residents.
If
you are interested in sponsoring the event, volunteering or in participating
as a restaurant or vendor please call Jack Hurd at 781-648-2169.
