Rain Delays Arts Wayland Expo 2023 Once Again

WAYLAND, MA — Rain has interfered with plans for the 2023 Arts Wayland Expo yet again.

The festival was originally supposed to be held in May, but drenching rain waylaid those plans, with organizers postponing until this Saturday. But rain is in the forecast again all day Saturday, something forecasts earlier this week did not foresee.

To be safe, organizers have postponed the event until Sunday afternoon, with a forecast showing full sun and temperatures in the 70s.

Here's the lineup for Sunday's event, which begins at noon at the green at the Town Center plaza:

Entertainment

• Noon to 12:50 p.m. — Wayland High School Honors Jazz Ensemble directed by Joe Oneschuk
• 1 to 2 p.m. — Shakespeare In The Park
• 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. — Music by Peter Lavenson & Co.
• 4 to 6 p.m. — Boston-based Danielle Miraglia and the Glory Junkies

All Day Activities

• Tent Pavilion — Artists’ marketplace, cultural exhibits, civic organizations
• Food, Drinks — Castle Island Brewing, Chillwagon Superlative Ice Cream, Cousins Maine Lobster, Kona Ice, and takeout from Wayland Town Center restaurants like Giacomo’s Pizza, Takara, The Bagel Table, and The Local
