AÂ Cape Anne Multi-Arts Family Festival
New Celebration of the Sea Festival Receives Grant
Eastern Point Day School was one of the recipients of this year’s Local Cultural Council grants, honored at a recent ceremony. The Massachusetts Cultural Council provides funds to LCC for projects that create community cultural opportunities to appreciate, enjoy and learn from special artists, humanists, interpretive scientists or organizations. The Celebration of the Sea Festival, to be held on June 5th, rain date June 6th, on the beautiful ocean view site of Eastern Point Day School, across from Niles Beach, was created to do all of this and more. This FREE family event, held from 10am to 4 pm, will both entertain and educate as it brings together and spotlights the talents of local artists and artisans, performers, well known children’s authors, museums and other sea-related businesses. Visitors will have a multi-sensory experience as they explore live tide pool animals, collaboratively paint and recycle an old sail into a work of art, hear Three Sheets’ sea chanteys, pirates telling tales, making music, and lead a sea-costumed parade with giant puppets. Children, in particular, will be able to play special games, create art and stir their imagination at Pirates’ Cove. It will be a memorable day for the whole family to enjoy, thanks to the support of the LCC.
