9 Years of Starry Nights

This year's festival is the 9th edition of Starry Night. It started on 1st Street in with a couple of bands, a few artists, a few causes, and a few light strands plugged into neighboring houses to illuminate the evening. Each year added more merchants, bands, and attendees until we outgrew the space and a couple of years ago transplanted the festival to the street outside Greyhouse. The city and neighboring businesses have been gracious and we have been able to both expand the overall scale of Starry and narrow the focus to the cause of childhood literacy.

This year's lineup of bands is incredible, featuring nationally touring bands Farewell Flight and Deas Vail along with some great regional acts. There will be a wide variety of art and goods to buy including caricatures, funky clothes & jewelry, sculptures made from appliances, coffee, music, and more. The Hands-On section will have the always popular henna tattoos, photobooth with props, collective story, and communal mad libs. 

...and it's free!!
