Seaside Circus is Back!

Oh wow, where do we begin? Seaside Circus is making an appearance at Motif No. 1 Day on May 19th and it is an embarrassment of riches.

The troupe will offer roving performances of jugglers, stilt-walkers, acrobats… Special (biodegradable) M1D balloons will be on-hand just to make things festive. Most amazingly of all, the Seaside Circus troupe will perform to a LIVE music set by none other than What Time is it, Mr. Fox? The prospect of watching the beautiful aerial performances offered by Seaside Circus set to the incredible live music of What Time is it, Mr. Fox? has us marking the time until Seaside Circus takes to the streets of Rockport for their annual performance in honor of the arts in our village.

A M1D Thank You!!!

Thanks so much to all the volunteers, donors, festival-goers, and performers who made Motif No. 1 Day such a fun, interactive, arts-focused day! From the 5K for Rockport Public Schools in the morning to the Rockport Art Colony’s pop-up exhibit at night, the day was a great celebration of Rockport’s iconic motif.
