Farewell to the 12th Annual Heritage Festival!
On Saturday, the sun shone, the crowds came out, the main stage rocked, the river was full of kayaks, the artisan tent was full of craftspeople at work…..And then, on Sunday, the clouds rolled in and the rain came. But still the main stage was full of good music and dance, the artisan tent was bustling, the Roaming Railroad ran, and even a few kayakers took to the water. The Seacoast’s favorite international block party–the 12th annual Heritage Festival–was a success! See you next year! Check back here for more info about dates and programming in the coming months.
