Trolley to link arts, culture fests Saturday

Having more events on the same weekend will attract more people, said Johanna Hoffmann, president of Saco Spirit, the organization sponsoring the revitalization of the center of the sidewalk arts festival. She added that she will bring audiences to the various events, for those who attend the arts festival are not necessarily the same people who attend the fair. Jessica Quattrone, CEO of La Kermesse, said she is pleased with the event will be held together because it will create a big draw for all events in the city center.Although the groups have acted individually this year, she hopes that if all are successful, organizations can start planning early for next summer and make it a true collaboration that will give even more benefits for groups and merchants downtown.

NATIONAL media coverage of the Guernsey Festival of Performing Arts will do wonders for the event and the island, its organiser has said.

Jon Stephen (pictured) said he was delighted with the level of UK interest in the festival that has been listed in the Telegraph’s top 100 British festivals and would be appearing in the Guardian festival guide.
