Alder Mandy Martinelli shared this today: I am thrilled to announce a brand-new community celebration: the Wooster Square Art Bazaar. On Saturday, June 20, we are launching this inaugural event to celebrate the eve of the Summer Solstice and the incredible creative talent found right here in our city. From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, we are partnering with the Full Moon Market team to transform Russo Park into a vibrant, open-air evening market. This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration for our neighborhood, bringing together local makers and musicians for a night of art under the solstice sun.
Calling All Artists & Musicians
We invite you to be part of the very first lineup for what we hope will become a beloved Wooster Square tradition. We are looking for:
- Artists & Makers: Be among the first to showcase your work at this new twilight market. (Note: As we’ll be celebrating into the evening, please plan for battery-powered lighting for your display!)
- Musicians & Performers: We are seeking local talent to provide the live soundtrack for this historic first bazaar.
- Help us kick off the summer and start something special in Russo Park. Space is limited for our first year, so apply today!
