Out to Lunch Festival and Farmers’ Market: 09/08/2022

The City of Worcester and the Worcester Cultural Coalition are pleased to announce the return of the Out to Lunch Festival and Farmers’ Markets for 2022! Out To Lunch will be held on the Worcester Common from 11am to 2pm  August 18th, September 1st, and September 8th.

Now in its 12th year, Out to Lunch events are free and open to the public, hosting musical performances, local artists and crafters, area restaurants, farmers, and community organizations and nonprofits. More information can be found on the City of Worcester website: http://www.worcesterma.gov/worcester-common-oval/out-to-lunch.

Headlining Act: Fueled by their passion to explore beyond the edges of traditional musical boundaries and with their diverse ethnic and musical backgrounds, the Alchemystics blend reggae, politically infused hip-hop, gritty soul, hard-driving rock, and pulsing Jamaican, Cuban, and Trinidadian rhythms into an utterly unique and distinctively original new sound. The result is modern-day roots music with global appeal – an alchemy of ancient musical traditions; intricate, intelligent wordplay; elementally raw soul; irresistible hooks; deep, driving rhythms; and old-school vocal harmonies – fired by the Alchemystic's unique blend of intensity, passion and sheer artistic chemistry into a powerful, contemporary and unmistakable sound.

Intermission Act: Nfuh is a predominantly men’s socio-cultural group from Mbumland in North West Cameroon. It originally played the role of village defense and protection. Today, its role has shifted to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Mbum people. Through the Nfuh Dance Group, this culture is celebrated and uplifted.

As with all City of Worcester events, the latest COVID-19 guidance will be observed to ensure public safety. Learn more at: http://www.worcesterma.gov/coronavirus
