The Boston Arts Festival

(ähts): The Boston Arts Festival features the best of the Boston Arts Scene - both visual and performance. The 2012 festival is Friday, September 7th from 6-9pm and Saturday and Sunday September 8th & 9th from noon-6:30pm.

In 2003 the Festival began as a single afternoon event. Ten years later it has expanded into a 3-day celebration incorporating a diverse performing arts program, a specially built artists’ village and an interactive arts schedule. Based in the idyllic Christopher Columbus Park on Boston’s waterfront, the festivities glisten in perfect symmetry with the park's surroundings, perfect for hosting family-friendly activities.

The festival features over 60 juried artists from Boston and a performance program on two stages showcasing Boston’s best performing arts groups and performers. Previous participants in the festival include Boston Ballet, Blue Man Group, Everyday Visuals, Zili Misik, Opera Boston, Aine Minogue, OrigiNation, Boston Pops, Bleu and Boston Lyric Opera.
