Belly dancers in the all way crosswalk, live mural painting, buskers and bands, food trucks and more, plus art in 31 venues up and down Beacon Avenue. The Beacon Art Walkabout is happening this Saturday and it’s going to be a gas! Visit beacon-arts.org to see the schedule. Rumor is there will be a pedal-powered people-mover sighting as well–so be ready to work for your lunch!
