Four ways the South End comes alive — a signature annual festival, a public art initiative, a neighborhood STEM program, and a weekly music gathering. This is what community looks like.
Food. Arts. Music. Entertainment. The South End's largest annual celebration brings the whole community together on Orange Road — with live performances, marketplace vendors, art installations, family programming, Jazz at Dusk, the Legacy Award, and Movies Under the Stars.
Explore FAME Festival in full →Residents, families, organizations, and businesses commission artists to create public artwork throughout the South End — sidewalk art, storefront murals, and public installations that transform Orange Road into a living gallery. The art stays. The story grows. You can sponsor an artist.
Learn about Art Walk Row →Small groups of children — two or three at a time — visit participating South End businesses for intimate, hands-on STEM demonstrations. A medical office. A restaurant. A bank. The South End is a classroom. STEM Day makes that visible.
Learn about STEM Day →Informal, spontaneous, and open. Musicians, residents, and visitors gather for live performances and jam sessions. No tickets. No headliner. No barrier to entry. Just music, good people, and the South End doing what it does best.
