The City of Somerville and the Somerville Arts Council presented the annual ArtBeat Festival on July13, throughout Davis Square, including Seven Hills Park, Elm Street, and Holland Street.

The Arts Council teamed up with the city’s Office of Sustainability and Environment to investigate how artists and climate activists can collaborate in ways that encourage all of us to consume less, affect positive change, and have fun along the way.

There was also the usual barrage of bands, art, dance, food, a parade – and much more.
