2nd Annual Maplewood Art and Music Festival!

With all this wonderful weather we are experiencing, today is the perfect day to gather the family for a fun and cultural day in Maplewood. Today marks the second year that Maplewood will close some of its streets and open it to the walking public. You can expect a lively crowd enjoying the arts of nearly 40 local artist, jewelry makers and photographers. In the background local bands will perform while you shop. 

This event is great for the entire family. Children can enjoy some face painting, chalk mural art, cotton candy and a bunch of other activities sponsored by Geralyn's Art Studio, Children's Community Mural and Village Trattoria.

This yogi recommends you live it up!
