Let Them Eat Art is Maplewood's tribute to Bastille Day with an "anything goes" atmosphere.
This is a self-guided tour through Historic Dowtown Maplewood's shops and restaurants.
You will find the city abuzz with live music featuring Gumbohead, live art, dream interpretation, face painting, belly dancing and ooh, la, la burlesque!
There is a costume contest with celebrity judges Darin Slyman, publisher of the Vital Voice, Ethan Wood, publisher of Where Magazine, RFT reporter Chad Garrison and the lovely Ms. Lola Van Ella.
Special thanks to Lucky You Productions for artist wrangling, costume contest coordination and other behind-the-scenes stuff the public never sees that makes our event work!
