Common Street HeArt Fest
Common Street HeArt Fest will happen on July 19th, 10:30am-6pm, at 13 Common Street in Natick! This will be an opportunity to express yourself and share with the community what you want. It will be a day of celebration with live music, vendors, workshops, open mic, yoga, community potluck, raffles, and other fun activities. Best of all, the entire festival is free and donation based! Bring your family, your friends, and your pets. This festival is for everyone!
Our current schedule is to have the festival start with an opening ceremony for the freedom of our spirit’s expression at 10:30am, inside the Sanctuary. It will be short and sweet, and then at 11:00am there will be a community potluck + open mic, and music will start playing outside in the Natick Commons (all live music and vendors will be outside). Workshops and yoga will start inside at 12pm (all workshops will be inside). There will also be an ecstatic dance at 6pm to end our festival, hosted by ¿How Lovely are We? with DJ AM Dragonfire.
