Join us for fun food and games
The Feast of the East is a community celebration that highlights the unique character of East Arlington and its many restaurants, specialty shops and other businesses. All Arlington businesses are invited to join in the fun.
East Arlington’s merchants and restaurants invite everyone to this free event that celebrates this unique neighborhood. Many of East Arlington’s 130 businesses will have sidewalk sales, giveaways, and other promotions. Local restaurants will cook and serve food outdoors. In addition, there will be free popcorn, slush, and cotton candy.
ACTIVITIES
Free
activities are scheduled throughout the day, including live music, clowns,
crafts for the kids, face painting and much more. Free kiddie rides will
include bounces, slides, games, and a carousel. Pony rides will once
again be located on the lawn of the Trinity Baptist Church at 115 Massachusetts
Avenue.
Live Music!
The Dave Sammarco Band at Trinity Baptist
also featuring the Mystic Drummers at 180 Mass Ave
Festivities
will be celebrated along Massachusetts Avenue from the Capitol Theater
block to Trinity Baptist Church. During this event, the sidewalks will
be 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 festival is a collaboration of the Town of Arlington, the residents
and businesses of East Arlington.
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 been very 
instrumental
in carrying out this festival as it has grown. This event is fully funded
by area businesses as well as East Arlington residents. To help fund
the operation of the Fox Library located in East Arlington donations
are welcome at the amusement rides and the other events taking place.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring the event,
volunteering or in participating as a restaurant or vendor please
call Jack Hurd at 781-648-2169.
