Join AHS at this free community festival celebrating history, reading, and America’s 250th birthday.
AHS will be sharing Arlington’s stories through the ages to help celebrate what libraries offer: a public square of inspiration, reflection and family-friendly, fun activities. The day features live music and spoken word performances, genealogy and digitization workshops, hands-on demonstrations like printmaking, an opportunity to make your own digital quilt square, Summer Reading activities and storytimes, and space to reflect on our ideals as we write letters to future Arlingtonians. Bring a picnic or purchase food from some of Arlington’s food trucks.
All ages welcome!
Bring your own picnic to enjoy at tables near the library and Quincy Park, or visit multiple food trucks from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Children get free popcorn while supplies last.
The Surface parking lot will be closed. and there will be limited garage parking. The ART bus stops nearby and Ballston Metro is an easy walk. There is also bike parking onsite. Public transit or biking is strongly recommended.
