Join the BVAA for a fun evening of exploration, neon signs, sparkling bars, and Christmas decor on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, Massachusetts! We’ll be doing street photography starting at 6pm on Wednesday, December 30th. That’ll have a mix of patrons going to the restaurants, the Christmas lights still shining, neon lights, a range of restaurant styles, and it shouldn’t be too chilly, either!
Let Lisa know if you’re interested in participating so she knows to watch for you.
