Special Events

Williams Center staff and Arts Society students go the head of the class at the Doo-Dah Parade!

The weather was perfect in May for the Arts Community of Easton's Shad Arts Celebration Doo-Dah Parade in conjunction with the 21th Annual Forks of the Delaware Shad Fishing Tournament and Festival, so the Williams Center and the Arts Society enrolled a School of Fish and went downtown for the delightful event.
