We are gearing up for Bridgeton RiverFest 3. This is the fine art festival pene diMaio and I have been producing for the past two years. Pene has left the fold, but I have taken on a new partner to produce the show and we are forging ahead. Amazingly, the show was voted one of the three top festival event in the eastern North Carolina region BOTH years since it's start and we hope to continue this year.

We have made changes. June was just too damned hot for the festival so we have changed the date to October 26/27. This is the same weekend as the traditional Ghostwalk in New Bern so it makes this area eve more of a destination for people to come to.

We are still nearly 2 months out and already have 24 artists in house so making our goal of 50 artists and artisans looks to be very doable. For those interested our website is up and growing and we are adding information on a weekly basis.

This is just awesome, the artists are indeed talented wish I lived closer I hear NC is an awesome state, good luck Al!


I wish you were closer too. Next year we should have a PSC meeting at the festival, that would be an outrageous time and opportunity for a lot of internet friends to actually meet and greet in person.

OK, the festival, Bridgeton RiverFest, is concluded and we are counting it a success. We have no figures on attendance yet, we know less people came according to the parking guys, but they bought significantly more art than in previous years so the artists (40 in number) were happy. Most of the food vendors sold well and the regular vendors all seemed pleased. It seemed to be a far classier group as well. When the festival was over and all the tents and booths struck, we looked around and could only find 6 (SIX) scraps of paper on the ground The rest was clean as if policed up. We were stunned. We were head to head with the last weekend of the County Fair, so I think those that wanted a carnival went there and those who really wanted good art come to ours.

It was a really fine experience and I am waiting for photos to arrive.
