The Merrickville Organization for Culture & the Arts (MOCA) is organizing the 4th Merrickville Festival of the Arts on July 27th and 28th. We are pleased to collaborate with the Merrickville Arts Guild (MAG) and Theatre Night in Merrickville (TNIM) in the production of this annual event. We have a full line-up of wonderful music featuring local and nearby musicians. In addition, we are delighted to partner with The Pews to host a free night concert on Saturday July 27th in the United Church starting at 7:00 PM by the very popular Tripoly and the Grenville Troubadours. Voluntary donations to The Pews are gratefully appreciated and can be made at the door. There will be a bar service on-site. This year we will also feature activities for children in collaboration with the Merrickville Day Nursery School and l’École élémentaire catholique Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys. 

TNIM will be presenting a play written by Peter Paylor and directed by Peyton Horning titled, “A Generous Gift”. You may notice a group of Urban Sketchers going throughout the Village to record their perspective of our unique architecture and Village life. Their sketches will be on display in the Blockhouse Park near where MAG artists will be featuring their creative work. Some of you might be aware that there is a movement afoot to honor one of Merrickville’s most interesting and accomplished historical characters- Harry F. McLean by creating a life sized statue. The Festival is featuring a story on Harry McLean by MAG artist and professional storyteller Johanna Kuyvenhoven. There is something here for both residents and visitors to Merrickville-Wolford. We hope to see you at the Festival. For further information please contact Nick Previsich at: nprevisich@bell.net
