Salisbury Art Stroll

Salisbury Art Stroll. Events for North Shore families

The Salisbury Art Stroll, which is entering its 6th year, is a celebration of the arts and nature. The Art Stroll takes place on the Old Eastern Marsh Rail Trail, a 1.4 mile paved trail, which starts at the Merrimack River and passes by gorgeous marshes. Artists and fine crafters set up tables on either side of the trail to display and sell their works.

This year we will also welcome spring with a plant sale. Plein-air artists set up as well to create works of art while visitors watch and local business will entertain with demonstrations of their select skills. We have many children's programs including free art classes, free face-painting and free balloon artists.

We also have musicians playing throughout the day and food is available.

People of all ages, can enjoy a full day of arts and nature at the Salisbury Art Stroll.
