RAIN CANCELLATION: With the forecast of a drizzly day followed by a stormy evening on Monday -- and after consultation with the National Weather Service of Boston and our producing partners -- StageSource and ArtsBoston have made the difficult decision to cancel Monday evening's event. We are investigating the possibility of moving the Expo to another date and a decision on that will be made soon.

We look forward to celebrating the new arts season with you all.  Stay tuned...

The main stage, with some charismatic emcees, will feature live performances from organizations across the region, with a focus on uplifting work by historically excluded populations including BIPOC, trans, and disabled communities.

The second stage at Trillium Brewery will host events such as theater trivia and bingo, while a scavenger hunt and raffles will engage audiences throughout the event. Pop-up food and beverage options will round out the afternoon.
