James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”
The 2024 Watertown Arts Market will take place at Filippello Park on Saturday, Aug. 17. I hope you are staying home this weekend because there’s some fun action in town to join in on. Let’s start Saturday morning with some sweet parent and young child time at the library with the Rockabye Beats. Then in the afternoon, head to Filippello Park for the annual Arts Market.
The Watertown Arts Market returns to Filippello Park in 2024, with dozens of artists, along with musicians, authors, food, and more at the event, which is free to enter. The Watertown Arts Market will be held on the Grove Street side of Filippello Park (191 Grove St.) on Saturday, Aug. 17, from noon to 5 p.m. (Rain date Sunday, Aug. 18). The annual event began in 2021, and is a place for Watertown’s artists and cultural organizations in Watertown to share their work.
More than 50 artists, authors, creatives, musicians and music teachers, arts and culture organizations will set up on the Filippello Park basketball courts, including painters, photographers, jewelry makers, fiber artists, printmakers, ceramic makers, and more.

Guitarist Ruth Rappaport plays traditional music of America, Ireland, and the British Isles. Ben Wetherbee is an exciting fiddler and harmonica player. Ruth has performed throughout New England with numerous traditional music groups.
Explore the forest in Mount Auburn Cemetery this weekend. Here’s a potential weekend plan for locals this weekend: First, go into your craft or art room if you have one, and grab some of the items that you thought you would use, but never have, or maybe you don’t do that craft anymore. Take them to the library on Saturday afternoon for the craft swap. Head home, have a nap, snack, or get your 10,000 steps in. Then in the evening go to the Armenian Cultural and Education Center for an amazing evening of Nepali music.
Melkon Hovhannisyan’s “The Walk” is one of the pieces in the exhibit at the Armenian Museum of America through Aug. 18. The Armenian Museum of America provided the following information:
Our latest contemporary exhibition has received excellent coverage from Art New England, Watertown Cable News, Armenian Mirror-Spectator, and beyond. The latest is by Artscope critic Erica DeMatos. “The Armenian Museum of America contextualizes Armenia’s lengthy and turmoiled past and presents a more contemporary view of Armenians today,” writes DeMatos in her 1,000-word review.

Gore PlaceTour the historic mansion at Gore Place on Friday and Saturday. This is a weekend for learning more history of our town. At Gore Place, which is partly in Waltham, partly in Watertown, you can tour the historic home of Christopher and Rebecca Gore. He served as an ambassador, governor of Massachusetts, and US Senator in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. If you prefer to be outside on a summer’s day, tour the trees on the Gore Estate or tour Mount Auburn Cemetery. Feeling crafty?
