A weekend to celebrate – how lucky we are to have The 4th of July to celebrate. As John Adams predicted, Independence Day is warmly greeted from coast to coast with All American Fervor, Fireworks and Parades. He didn’t guess hot dogs and hamburgers but who could have?
Artists out for a patriotic market tomorrow will be Kym Bach, Shannon Calley, Lori Cicogna, Amy Cummings, Hillary Davenport, Marisa Kuntz, Nick Halleran, Melissa Laverdiere, Acara Phipps, Kay Reid, Mallorie Terranova, Bob Wright and our Wonderful Market Manager – Ashley Smith – plus ContraVan and new to Old Beach – Mike Smack.
After visiting Old Beach, you might be interested in Cultured 2k17: A Utopia Feni Arts + Music Festival in Kempsville. When you go, be sure to look for Ashley and Jessamyn Manzeralla.
Old Beach Green Market and Old Beach Farmer’s Market are looking good this week, too.
Stars & Stripes Explosion on July 4th is worth checking out. The Quantico Marine Corps Band‘s Concert Band and Rock Band will be at the main 24th Street beach stage on the 4th as part of Beach Street USA
We’ll be looking for you on Saturday.
