2nd Annual Salmon Falls Street Fest

A Great Time for The Entire Family

On Saturday, September 18, 2010, the Shelburne Falls Area Business Association will be hosting the second annual Salmon Falls Street Festival.  This community event will celebrate and highlight our many local artisans, music, food and the coming of fall season.  Most activities will be free to the public from 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.  The festival will have food provided by our local restaurants, art and craft vendors, music at the band tent (which will include folk, country, classic rock and oldies), street performers and child activities.  Deerfield Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic and will provide a charming area to walk around, visit with friends and enjoy our beautiful town. 

Throughout the day, music will be played on both sides of the bridge with a variety of bands in session.   The last event of the day will be a 2-hour dance band concert on Deerfield Avenue!  Some of the featured artists include:  Andrea Paquin, John Clarke, Vanessa Torres, M.R. Poulopoulos, The Over Under, Howard Jennings, Luke Mulholland Band, Wile-Wood, Brook Batteau and the New Cosmology, Last Night’s Fun, John Roberts, Boxcar Lilies, St. Mix and more.  Street performers will also be making their way down the streets to the enjoyment of all! 

Vendor offerings will be interesting and quite varied this year.  Not only will there be a choice of food items; one can peruse the booths and shops offering jewelry, photo cards, paintings, crafted gourds, handbags, cutlery and kitchen tools, ponchos, scarves, twig crayons, glassware, books and much, much more.  You'll even have the chance to sing your favorite song at the music association karaoke booth.  Adults can purchase beverages from under the beer and wine tent while sitting back listening to the music with the beautiful potholes in the background. 

So tell your friends - and bring the family as there will be something for everyone.  As you walk through the village be sure to cross the beautiful and famed bridge of flowers and marvel at the glory of nature as you take note of so many plants in bloom.  Join us and enjoy the magnificence of a lovely fall afternoon and evening!
