Live music, pop-up exhibitions, interactive programming and an alleyway art market are coming the last weekend of the month to downtown with the final Haverhill Art Walk of the year.
The seasonal event takes place Saturday, Sept. 26, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the downtown Riverfront Cultural District, incorporating Washington and Wingate Streets and bounded by Railroad and Washington Squares.
Railroad Square will see Haverhill High School Coffeehouse kick off the lineup, followed by Tom Jordan and The Daydrinkers and Autumn Hollow; art making with Hill View Montessori Charter Public School; hands-on printing with the Museum of Printing; and interactive spray painting with mural artist Manny Mateo.

At the same time, there is art making by Shoe Town Art Center and Bethany Communities hosts an “Artist Cafe,” featuring work by its residents.
