“For 10 days at the beginning of July, a bunch of fun activities are planned by various organizations around town, including the Arlington Arts Council, which offers fun art projects for kids at the street fair.
“It’s time to walk down the middle of Olympic Avenue and have fun with neighbors and friends – it’s a grand time in Arlington!”
