If you’re new to town (or kids), this week our town holds on of the most anticipated events of summer! The Festival on the Green brings top-quality, FREE, family friendly entertainment to Addison County. The festival includes both daytime and nighttime performances. Check out their website for further details and a complete schedule, but be sure not to miss the “Brown Bag Specials.”
“Brown Bag Specials” performances designed for a family audience, are presented at noon Monday through Friday. Festival-goers bring a bag lunch or picnic from home, or patronize one of the nearby restaurants for take-out. These shows, which feature storytelling, dance, music, and puppetry, are enjoyed by an audience sprinkled with lively toddlers from local day care centers, youthful residents of nearby camps, downtown shoppers, and employees from businesses bordering the Green.
