On Sunday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Mouth Park in Massey will once again become the go-to destination for many to attend the third-time-running Art in The Park festival. Since the first event its popularity has increased drawing scores of art loving people down to the park. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than browsing the many vendors, listen to local musicians, and go for a swim in the clear water.
The Mouth Park, where the Sables and Spanish River meet, is a natural treasure in Massey well known to locals for its sandy beach, shaded picnic areas and accessibility. From the parking lot entrance to the park is easily accessible for wheelchairs, walkers, wagons and strollers. New this year is an accessible ramp to the water from the beach enabling those in wheelchairs to take a dip.
To get to the park go south off the highway at Burkes Shell to Albert Street and make a left continuing down the gravel road a short distance past the boat launch along the river to the parking lot then take the accessible ramp to the beach.
This year, the festival is expected to feature 15 to 20 local artists and vendors as well as live music.
