Event

2011 Open Road Music & Arts Festival
Open Road is Worcester's first sustainable and earth-friendly music and arts festival. On top of 2 stages with great live music, there will be an eclectic variety of cuisine, many local artists and vendors, family-friendly activities and much more. Live music kicks off at 11:00 am and will proceed until 6:00 pm. Vendors will be located around the perimeter to sell art, crafts, food, and more.

The goal of Open Road is to raise the awareness of alternative and sustainable lifestyles while bringing the Worcester community (and beyond) together to enjoy local art and extraordinary music.
