On behalf of all of us at Easthampton City Arts and the Cultural Chaos planning team, we extend our immense appreciation to each and every one of you who helped make this year’s Cultural Chaos street festival such a wonderful and memorable day! It was rich with creativity and community spirit — and it was also a great success for our beloved local businesses in the Cottage Street Cultural District, thanks to the thousands + thousands of you who came out to participate!

Yesterday’s festival was the culmination of countless coordinated efforts and preparations — by our talented and hardworking artists, vendors, musicians, and performers who so generously shared their voices and vision with us, our incredible shops and restaurants who made their spaces so warm + welcoming, our committee volunteers who’ve been planning and preparing for months, our municipal colleagues from the EPD, EFD, DPW, Planning, Parks & Rec, and the Mayor’s Office who went above + beyond to facilitate a safe space and supported environment for all attendees, all the support teams like Mass Bike, Speed + Sprocket Cycle Works, USA Trash, Pedal People, and our sound/staging partners who added important infrastructure and offerings, and to our incredible local community members who come out each year to celebrate, appreciate, and *create together* the vibrant, integrated, and creative culture of Easthampton!!

Special thanks to Noel St. Jean of Art In Motion for curating another spectacular day of dance, Matt Still for orchestrating another impressive lineup of BMX tricks, SHOW Circus Studio & Caravan Puppets for once again bringing your all, Sage Meadow Farm for gifting us with the sweetness of baby goats, Easthampton Clay for the demos, and to CLI for their first-time participation at Cultural Chaos!

THANK YOU! 💜

And, we were all so thankful for rain-free skies!!

Lastly, many thanks to Pat Brough for the first photo (plus a few others) — and the last slide is also sweet: as the event organizers were walking to their cars at the end of the long, beautiful day, we noticed *several* families of geese (these were just a few) walking home after the long, beautiful day, too 💜

Good morning, everyone! The table is being set for today’s great big community feast!! And there’s not one car on the street — which is a great way for the organizers of Cultural Chaos to begin our day 🙂 thank you, neighbors!! See you all this afternoon!!

Cultural Chaos is a true labor of love and dedication on the part of so many people in our community — our incredible volunteers, local business partners, amazing artists of all kinds, civil servants, community members, and event sponsors! None of it would be possible without each and every contribution and we appreciate them ALL, in all the different forms that participation comes in!

Huge thanks to each of our sponsors — and a very special shoutout to @greenfieldsavings for their first time partnership with Cultural Chaos!!
