Downtown Chestertown Association is introducing a new progressive music festival on Saturday, May 2, 2015. The event pairs local musicians with front porch-type venues throughout town, giving visitors the opportunity to tour the town and discover local artists, businesses, shops, restaurants, outdoor spaces and architecture. For this new event celebrating local art, we hope to inspire a local artist to design logo that will help Downtown Chestertown Association successfully attract a wide audience to attend.
