On Saturday, the Dragon Boat Races will be launched at the School Street Pier starting at 8 am, and "a celebration of French culture" begins at Slater Mill at noon. And there's a whole lot of other cool stuff all weekend and throughout September; check it all out at pawtucketartsfestival.org. And Weiss highly recommends this year's official festival poster, a 20"x24" print of a painting by Penelope Manzella designed by the world-renowned Rhode Island-based Malcolm Grear Designers. It is indeed handsome, as is Herb (who now owes P&J one festival T-shirt for such blatant flattery).
