NORWAY — The annual Arts Festival street dance will be held Friday, July 13.

The dance will be behind the Fare Share Market in Norway, from 5:30 to 9 pm. It will include music, entertainment and a barbecue.

The street dance kicks off with singers Katey Branch and Emma Day-Branch from 5:30 to 6 p.m. They will be followed by Dawson Hill and Friends from 6 to 7 p.m., with the featured performers Tricky Britches coming in from 7 to 9 p.m. Throughout the evening Cafe Nomad will be on site with a barbecue available to purchase.

Organizers say Tricky Britches has quickly gained a solid reputation in Maine and beyond. In the summer of 2010 the group toured 13 countries in Europe. Their second album, Hard Fought Day, was released in the spring of 2011. It is full of original songs and features the band’s newest member, Ryan “Bear” Wilkinson, singing and playing tenor banjo.

Since then, they have been playing from Maine to Louisiana with several appearances at Tucker’s Pub, Stone Mountain Arts Center, on WCSH’s 207 and this summer can be seen on the Main Stage at the Ossipee Valley Bluegrass Festival.

VJ Foo will provide live event projection throughout the evening. With roots in graphic design, video editing, live sound and stage management, VJ Foo creates innovative experiences shared by all those that participate. He has worked as a professional visual artist performing from the East Coast to the West Coast, and has produced stages for New England festivals ranging from 200 people to 3,500 people.

This event is free and open to the public for all ages. For more information, check the festival website at www.norwayartsfestival.org.
