NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Main Street’s Eel River Arts Festival is just around the corner. There will be amazing local artists displaying their work from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, at Eel River Gardens, downtown North Manchester.

The festival will include an art fair featuring pottery, jewelry, painting, photography and mixed media. This event is free to the public. Kids activities include craft making, art workshops and face painting. Live musical acts will also perform throughout the day.

Manchester Main Street is featuring our unique local artisans in a “Meet the Artist” online series. This week, art fans can visit the “Local Flavor” tab on Manchester Main Street’s website to find out how Britta Glass interprets realistic fantasy into colorful watercolor and ink drawings and which Fisher Price toy inspired her creativity.
