Peaks

"Imagine a Good Housekeeping garden party; now mix it with Monty Python grail seeking, a dash of Audubon walk, and a pinch of street fair. You've roughly got the Peaks Island Art Walk and Wander - emphasis on the "Wander." Many downtowns, including Portland, hold a monthly "art walk" through galleries. At each city's version, a sense of crawling crowds pervades. The Peaks Art Walk, in contrast, unfolds more like an island-wide treasure hunt. You have to stay on your toes!" - Sarah Goodman, The Island Times

This description seems like a great reason to make a trip to Peaks Island for the Saturday Art Walks! The dates for the 2010 Art Walks are JUNE 19, JUNE 26, JULY 31, and AUG 28 from 3 to 7 pm.
