SALEM, MA — A dose of summer heat will accompany music in the streets in Salem this weekend. The Peabody Essex Museum Prize Festival will include eight stages on Essex Street of street musicians from the Greater Boston area. Artist Carlos Garaicoa and the PEM curated the festival. The festival will also feature a jazz brunch from 10 a.m. to noon at the PEM main atrium, a live art exhibit with live mural painter Anna Duggan at the museum entrance and a family art-making station where those attending can create their own spinning hand drum and decorate it. The event will also feature a DJ, food trucks, vendors and a pop-up beer garden. Those attending should be prepared for a toasty one with temperatures expected to reach the mid-90s on Sunday. A full festival map can be found here with a list of musicians available here. Those looking to make a donation to offset festival costs can do so here.
