On Sunday, April 28, thousands of residents and visitors converged on Princeton for Communiversity ArtsFest.
The event, produced by the Arts Council of Princeton with participation from the students of Princeton University and support from the town of Princeton, is now in its 49th year of showcasing local arts, crafts, food and live entertainment. Arts stations for activities such as wood stain painting and ceramics clustered throughout town. Vendors lined streets and plazas, while student and University groups gathered on the front lawn of campus. Vocal groups, bands and dance groups performed on seven stages across the community.
