Festival on the Hill 2020

Festival on the Hill 2020 is ON for THIS Saturday, October 10, 2020 (10.10.2020)!

 

Afternoon mini concerts. Mini concerts will start at 2 p.m. at the corner of Bolton and Lanvale.

We respectfully request that spectators wear masks, not bring refreshments, and remain socially distanced. Each mini concert will last approximately 20 minutes. If you intend to hear more than one mini concert, the time between them is perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. Perhaps you see some of the works in the Walking Art Gallery.
