There’s a new family event in Petworth, the Petworth Arts Fest & Teddy Bear Picnic on Saturday, May 20, 10am-1pm at Sherman Circle. Pack a picnic, bring a t-shirt to decorate — and kids bring your favorite stuffed bear for a teddy bear picnic!

The Petworth Arts Collaborative and Petworth Peanuts will transform Sherman Circle into an engaging art space with live music, art demonstrations led by local artists and interactive art activities for all ages, including painting and nature crafts.

This event is made possible through generous support from ANC-4D, Solstice Smiles, Parker McCarthy of Compass Real Estate, Rose Whelan of Whelan Law PLLC, Tabla, Scott Wallace of Edward Jones, Derrick Creative, Friends at Petworth Library, Lighthouse Yoga, Lincoln's Cottage, Brightwood Pizza & Bottle, Petworth Ace Hardware, Creativecouch Designs, and Bailer Design.
