The 2010 Broadway Arts Festival was not just about the activities during the week. Several activities involved village residents in the weeks and months leading up to the Festival and a lot of exciting community activities took place.
We had displays to enjoy and to create:

to celebrate Broadway’s Artistic heritage in Fine Arts,
