Artists around the Pajaro Valley launched the free, monthly three-hour event with the theme, “Bring your family, bring your neighbors—let’s make downtown Watsonville the heart of community connection, creativity and culture.”
The second Saturday of each month, from 1-4pm on Main Street and surrounding blocks, will now feature a wealth of art-related events, from painting and dancing and art exhibits to supporting business participation and local tours for the public to come up to speed on what the art scene is like in the Pajaro Valley. It is being headed up by local artist Kathleen Crocetti, Miriam Anton, executive director of Pajaro Valley Arts, and Jessica Beebe, recreation supervisor of Watsonville Parks and Community Services.
