ROCKPORT – May 2009 – With flowers bursting into bloom everywhere, Rockport’s annual Motif #1 Days, Saturday, May 16th, 2009 and Sunday, May 17th, 2009 is rapidly approaching. Rockport is celebrating its arts heritage and the return of spring with a festival featuring its famed fishing shack, as it has every May for more than 60 years. This year artists will be setting up their easels to paint the Motif and other Rockport scenes, complemented by band concerts and children’s activities, strolling musicians and street performers, a community bake sale, Arts and Flowers weekend, and Rockport Music’s special Foundation Day celebration. Rockport’s retailers will be creating special displays of new spring and summer merchandise, while decking out their shops with flowers to create a festive and fun-filled atmosphere throughout the downtown. 

A complete calendar of events will be available shortly at: www.Rockportusa.com 

Every local business and community organization is welcome and encouraged to participate in and support Motif # 1 Days this year.
