There’s a big ole abandoned building on the east side of Main Street in Beacon. In the town’s heyday, it was the electric blanket factory. Today, each window is covered by a fabulous work of art.
This Saturday, July 31st, the street artists will converge on Beacon once again to do a live installation. They’ll create the works of art right in front of the building during “Electric Windows”. There will also be music,vendors, the works!
If you plan on spending the night in Beacon, there’s an after party at The Piggy Bank starting at 10pm.
Then you can fall in love with Beacon and go buy my house.
