 Double, even triple the usual Beacon fun! Guess what you get to do this weekend: Beacon Open Studios, Beacon Dog Parade, and the Ree-Play Tag Sale. There's no wrong answer!
This weekend, four-legged friends are celebrated with the Beacon Barks Parade & Street Festival. While you are out, watch for the red signs everywhere - they mark where an artist's studio is, and you're invited to come in to see how they work! Pick up a map showing all of the artists, here at A Little Beacon Blog's office at 291 Main Street, or at other shop locations. A Little Beacon Blog is a proud sponsor of Beacon Open Studios this year. It's one of our favorite outdoor/indoor events that identifies Beacon.
BTW: It's so beautiful in Beacon right now! Despite the rain. Everything is blooming!
