AMHERST — A festival of the arts and music was held on the Town Common Sunday, in what was one of the first in-person shows since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic for many of the artists and performers there.
“After the pandemic it’s nice to see,” said Ann Tweedy, chairwoman of the Amherst Center Cultural District Steering Committee, a chief organizer of the event.
The celebration took place from noon to 6 p.m. and featured paintings, metalworking, live music and photography. Entrance to the festival was free, as was the water that was handed out in the hot weather.
