Arts Around the Square is almost here! Before heading downtown this Saturday, May 16 (10:00am–4:00pm), here are a few helpful reminders to help you enjoy the day:
• Bring your lawn chairs and relax near the stage while enjoying live music and performances throughout the event.
• Stay hydrated! Be sure to bring water in a non-breakable container, as warm temperatures are expected.
• Come hungry and support local businesses while enjoying delicious food from downtown restaurants, food trucks, and vendors around the square.
• You may want to bring a reusable shopping bag (or two) for all the unique finds from our vendors! While you’re enjoying the event, stop by the Graham Recreation & Parks Tent to complete the Event Survey and receive an exclusive 2026 Arts Around the Square Tote Bag, available while supplies last.
• For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, smoking/vaping and drones are not permitted during the event.
