Marblehead Festival of Arts Kicks Off In Style
A chance to support the arts while drinking champagne and nibbling on goodies? Sign us up. The sky
was gray over Sunday night’s Marblehead Festival of Arts Champagne Reception at Fort Sewall, but
that deterred precisely no one from turning out in their summer finery, complete with lavishly
decorated hats.
Fourteen local restaurants and bakeries donated food to the event, and attendees sipped and sampled
while listening to lively Reggae and Caribbean tunes from Señor Perfecto & The One Drops...
Best sandwich goes to Jack-Tar’s pulled pork sliders (a bit hard to eat but truly delicious), followed
closely by Manhattan Sandwich, which had many deli selections and adorable cups of cole slaw. (By the
way, we’ve tried several varieties of sandwiches from Manhattan on recent picnics and recommend
them. They offer a variety of extremely fresh bread including pumpernickel and bulkie rolls, the meats
and cheeses are high quality and generous, and the condiments and pickles are deli-worthy.)
