1st Annual
​Creative Walk
Saturday May 12
10 am-12 pm         

Miss Taunton 2018, Meghan Rubadou, is organizing the first ever Creative Walk, which will begin at 10 am on Church Green and end at 12 pm at the FREE Taunton Creates Arts & Culture Festival on the Taunton Green!

​What is the Creative Walk?  It is a family friendly fundraising walk with "create breaks" along the route.  Create breaks are fun art projects (see details below)!

​The walk will benefit local, free arts programs for the people of Taunton.  Meghan's platform is called "A Creative Cure" and she believes that art is an effective means of combating stress.The funds raised will be used to support easy-to-make art projects & programs with that purpose in mind.  

Registration ends Saturday May 5th.

The Route
The fun begins at the First parish Church lawn on Church Green with Create Break #1, travels from Dean Street to Union Street, turns onto Fruit Street, then onto Trescott Street where participants will head to the Baron Lofts parking lot for Create Break #2 and a snack & water break.  From there, the walk turns onto Main street, then onto School Street.  At the School Street Fire Station, walkers will stop at Create Break #3.  A quick left onto Leonard Street, then onto Broadway heading toward the Taunton Green, walkers will then turn right to head to the Superior Courthouse lawn for Create Break #4 and a snack & water break.  Upon completing Create Break #4, participants will circumvent the Green by walking around the Green passing the Post Office, El Mariachi restaurant, and finally crossing the street near Weir Street & the Sealey lot to enter the Taunton Green and the Taunton Creates Arts & Culture Festival!  At the Festival, there will be a special area with refreshments for participants as well as a display area for all of the finished products created on the walk.
