Presented by the Somerville Arts Council, ArtBeat took place last weekend in Somerville’s Davis Square.
This is one of the area’s largest and most innovative arts festivals, with over a dozen bands, dance troupes, 75 craft vendors, food, and all-age activities.

This year’s ArtBeat theme is “roots,” a celebration of all things that have roots, are grounded, that tie people and place together.
