This past Sunday, October 19th, 2025, Hingham hosted its annual Hingham Arts Walk in downtown Hingham. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Hingham Arts Walk which has grown to be a community favorite. The weather on Sunday was perfect for the event and one of the nicest days we’ve seen in a while. From noon to 4:00pm, this event had an amazing turnout with a fairly large crowd of people in attendance.  This year’s sponsors were Linden Ponds By Erickson Senior Living, the Hingham Arts Alliance, Discover Hingham, as well as the Hingham Downtown Association. 

The Hingham Arts Walk provided the community with an opportunity to appreciate the arts and our local artists. The art on Sunday varied from illustration, fine art painting, jewelry, photography, youth art, mixed media, pastel, pottery, collagist, wood, and other decorative arts. In addition, there was live music and dance performances, live workshops, art making, face painting, and food trucks. Isabelle Beitler, a freshman at HHS, attended the Hingham Arts Walk on Sunday and says, “I think it was great because you got to see how many people were interested and supported the arts in our community.” 

The Hingham Arts Alliance had a performance tent downtown that hosted live performances all day. These performances varied from HHS student performances from the Hingham High School Band,  to a Drum Circle with Ed Sorrentino of the South Shore Conservatory, and performances from  Hingham High School Drama. To add, there were performances from some local businesses like the South Shore Conversatory, Grand Ukes – Center for Active Living, Missy’s Movement, Academy of the Company Theatre, Hingham Civic Music Theatre, and Spotlight Music and Theater Academy. These performances were outstanding and drew a significant crowd while providing some lovely music and fun for the attendees at the Art Walk. Dee Sweeney, a sophomore at HHS who attended the Arts Walk says, “I thought it was really great to see all the different types of art come together and it was fun to see all the talent that Hingham has.” 

Downtown Hingham’s local businesses were open on Sunday during this event which was very beneficial for them since there was such a large crowd. Some of these local businesses included Maggie’s Doghouse, Nona’s Homemade, the newly opened Best Brother Records, Acquire Good, Thacher & Spring, among others. Attendees at the Arts Walk had the opportunity to venture inside and explore these beautiful businesses in Downtown Hingham. The Hingham Heritage Museum was also open for visitors wanting to immerse themselves in some history. 

There were a variety of food options available including Hingham staples like Brewed Awakenings, Nona’s Homemade, and Euromart. In addition, you could see people walking around with some food from the Sausage Guy, South Shore Taco Guy, or Just The Dip. 

It’s safe to say that the 20th Anniversary of the Hingham Arts Walk was a success. It has definitely become one of the town’s best events that bettered Hingham’s sense of community.
