THURSDAY

PEM/PM May Edition-DIRT


SALEM, MA –– Sip specialty cocktails made with fresh basil and thyme and dig right into this fabulous party that celebrates growing gardens, eating local and the rootsy sound of Dan & The Wildfire. These Boston-based boys from Berklee College of Music are drawing crowds as they perform up and down the East Coast.

Join us as we discover new ways to use seasonal and locally grown food. We welcome folks from both Salem Community Gardens and Salem Farmers' Market to share tips for gardening and local, healthy eating.

Meanwhile, environmental artist Kyle Browne demonstrates how to create a seedbomb, a little ball made of compost, clay and seeds that can be launched into inaccessible areas such as wasteland or railways. Want to make a work of art at PEM? Grab a sketchpad to draw a costumed, live model from Modern Millie Vintage and Consignments of Salem and Newburyport.

SATURDAY

Sarah Swain and the OH Boys perform live at 43 Church Restaurant


North Shore CD Release party ~ yay Salem! "Every Little Bird" just won "Album of the Year" at the Limelight Magazine Music Awards - come hear songs from the new cd and some red hot rockabilly...

"With a packed house in front of her and a rockin' band behind her, Sarah Swain's live performances have become must see events up and down Cape Cod.   With a unique mixture of well crafted originals and white-hot rockabilly, Sarah and her band, The Oh Boys!, draw from timeless influences to create a fresh sound that defies classification.

Sarah Swain began playing guitar and writing songs at 14 and started playing open mics as soon as she looked old enough to pass for 21.  She grew up in the Boston area and became a fixture in the local indie/folk scene."

Sunday...ROAD TRIP!

Boston has enjoyed a deep relationship with Japan since the days of the Iwakura Mission of 1871. In April of 2012 the city celebrated the 100th anniversary of the friendship gift of cherry trees from Kyoto to Washington D.C. by hosting a Japan Spring Festival with support from the Consulate-General of Japan in Boston and in cooperation with local Japanese businesses and organizations. The festival was held in Boston's historic Copley Square Park in the heart of the city and was modeled after a traditional Japanese fair. The celebration exceeded all expectations, with over 13,000 participants in attendance. The success of the festival was due largely in part to the unprecedented level of cooperation from the local Japanese community. Around the same time as the festival, the city celebrated the addition of a new direct flight option between Boston Logan airport and Narita airport, bringing the two cultures and peoples closer than ever.

After much consideration, we have decided to expand the event into an annual festival. The 2013 Japan Festival in Boston will focus on the theme of "matsuri," the time-honored traditional Japanese-style festival. We hope that you will celebrate with us this year. Admission Free! All are welcome!
