FUN & LEARNING

The city's first ever Drive.Walk.Bike City Art Show will take place on Friday, July 3 from 4-9 p.m. Artists will be displaying their paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fashions, sidewalk art, videos, and more on their porches, trees, lawns, and driveways, in their garages, or projected onto their homes. View the list of participants and locations here!

On Saturday, July 4 beginning at 11 a.m., join your friends and neighbors on a leisurely 3.5-mile Pittsfield Bike Cruise. This socially distant bike ride loop starts at Park Square, and travels through the Westside and Morningside neighborhoods. Afterwards, return to Park Square for a public reading of Frederick Douglass' stirring 1852 speech "The Meaning of July Fourth to the Negro."
