Our map is up! Hard copies will be available tomorrow, but in the meantime you can browse all the open artist studios, shops, and restaurants by viewing the PDF here:

Walkabout 2013 Map

Check out a partial listing of live music and special events here: Map Cover — but remember, this is only a fraction of what’s offered around town… most shops, studios, and galleries are offering specials, treats, sales, and other fun stuff that we can’t possibly fit onto one page. Be sure to follow us on Facebook for a live feed of fun stuff going on throughout the day.

The trolley is free, free parking is available on-street, at municipal lots, and at the Franklin Street Park & Ride, and everyone is open at noon sharp! See you soon!

 

It’s coming up fast! Make sure to RSVP to our Facebook event so you can get all our updates about the Taste of Warren, artists, performances, demonstrations, open studios, and more… e-mail info@discoverwarren.com for more information (or to sign up to be a part of the Walkabout, click here!)

A big, big thank you to our sponsors this year, Navigant Credit Union and 30 Cutler Street. They’ve been supporting the Walkabout for years now, and we love them for it. Check out this year’s artist poster design by Mark Wholey (and be sure to visit his studio when you join us for the Walkabout!).

Tomorrow, come celebrate Warren’s Burr’s Hill Park with “A Day in the Park” from 3pm to 7pm! Featuring the Hometown Revival Project’s annual King of the Hill basketball tournament along with food trucks galore, brews and wines from Cisco Brewers and Grapes & Grains, kids activities courtesy of the local YMCA, and gorgeous views brought to you by the Warren river. Bring a picnic blanket and a bike, because Recycle-a-Bike will be on hand to valet and do some basic maintenance… so don’t be afraid to come from far away! See you tomorrow…

Saturday and Sunday, July 20-21st, brings us an annual treat: the Quahog Festival and Arts Festival down at Burr’s Hill Park. On Sunday, after you’ve eaten all the fried seafood you possibly can and checked out all the local art, stroll around downtown Warren and check out some mad sidewalk sales (complete with snacks, lemonade, and let’s not forget: AC!). See you then!
