The 2^nd Annual Arts Festival at One Washington Center in Dover has been set for Saturday, May 9, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.  The Festival celebrates the vibrant Dover arts community featuring visual arts, dance perfomances, live music, theater and much more. Professional artists and craftspeople will be selling unique New Hampshire made items; just in time for Mother’s Day.  The Dover mounted police will give a demonstration of their equestrian skills, and our younger visitors are sure to also enjoy the face painting and balloon sculptures.  Local children’s artwork will be displayed, gallery-style, throughout the mill. Last year’s Festival attracted over 1,000 visitors.  The event is free and open to the public. 

Event partners include the Children’s Museum and the Dover Main Street program.  The Children’s Museum will have a special visiting guest on the same day, Dr. Seuss’s “Cat in the Hat”. The Children’s Museum is just a short walk across the bridge from the mill property.
