The Downtown Holland Street Performer Series is back, and it's bigger than ever. This popular summer event will feature close to 70 artists of all varieties who will give free performances on a rotating basis throughout downtown Holland. This free Series begins Thursday, June 10 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. and will continue each Thursday evening through Aug. 26.
The Series will feature endless summer entertainment for audiences of all ages. Performances include: musicians, caricature artists, theatrical troupes, aerial acrobats, dancers, henna tattoo artists, slide-show acts and much more. Performers will be announced the week of the event. While events are free, tipping is encouraged.
Performance locations have been increased from 20 to 29 this summer to accommodate the record number of performers in the Series. Locations stretch almost the entire three blocks from River Avenue to Columbia Avenue on 8th Street.
Also, for the first time ever, the Street Performer Series will feature two theme nights: Civil War theme on June 24 and Kid's Day on July 15. An interactive drum circle will also be held each Thursday as part of the Series.
The 2010 Downtown Holland Street Performer Series is organized by the City of Holland's Principal Shopping District with support from the Holland Area Arts Council and Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
