Hello Somerville community,

 

ArtBeat 2025 is almost here, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you this Saturday, July 19, from 12 to 9 p.m. in Davis Square (rain date: Sunday, July 20)!

 

This year’s theme is FREEZE, and we’re bringing all the chill vibes with two outdoor music stages, a dynamic dance showcase at the Somerville Theatre, mesmerizing roamers, interactive art installations, family-friendly activities, craft & food vendors from across the globe, community organizations, and more.

Stay Cool, Stay Safe!

ArtBeat often lands on one of the hottest days of the year, and we want everyone to enjoy the day comfortably and safely. Here’s how we’re helping you beat the heat:

 

💧 The Quench Buggy (Statue Park) — fill your bottle with free, cold water

💦 Misting Tent (Seven Hills Park) — step in, cool off, and refresh

🌳 Tents & umbrellas are welcome on the back half of the Seven Hills Park lawn—bring your own shade!

🧴 Don’t forget sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and a hat or umbrella

 

Let’s enjoy the day together hydrated, shaded, and ready to celebrate the arts!

 

Important!

Severe weather and other emergencies can happen. Sign up for emergency text alerts for this year’s ArtBeat event: text SOMARTBEAT25 to 888777. This is the best way to stay informed in real-time.

 

Thank you for being part of the Somerville Arts Council community. We can’t wait to share this creative, joyful, and cool (literally!) day with all of you.

 

See you Saturday!

 

Warmly,

The Somerville Arts Council Team
