“Walkabout Like a Pirate” Theme Friday, Sept. 13 from 5 – 10 p.m. includes New Art Openings, Street Performers & More
Walkabout Tremont hits the high seas this month with a “Walkabout Like a Pirate” theme Friday, September 13, from 5 to 10 p.m. in honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day later in September. Landlubbers and swashbucklers alike can see multiple art openings, enjoy extended hours at art galleries and retail shops, and fill up on a variety of pirate-inspired food & drink specials at Tremont’s restaurants and bars. There will be a number of street performers—including DrURawesome and his world-record breaking bubbles—street musicians, belly dancers and more.
There will be more than a dozen pop-up tents with artists from within and outside Tremont. And, visitors can enjoy locally produced art in many shops, restaurants and bars, view a local history display at the corner of Professor and College Avenues, and take a tour of two of Tremont’s iconic churches.
