Per request of Look Park: No Pets, No Coolers and No Beverages please. Look Park charges a $7 special events vehicle entry fee for all vehicles without season passes. A portion of the proceeds support arts enrichment programs in the Public Schools of Northampton, Leeds, and Florence.
History: Each year in August the Northampton Arts Council and the Parent Teacher Organizations of Northamptons public school system join forces to raise funds for arts enrichment in the schools and for the ArtsEZ grant program. The original concept for Transperformance was for local bands to take on a persona of another established nationally recognized act and perform or Transperform their bands style. The acts that are chosen are done thematically, such as Transperformance 22 Food Groups (Heather Maloney as Amy Winehouse) or Transperformance 17 Color By Numbers (Primate Fiasco as Pink Floyd) or Transperformance 23 Beyond Bob (Rusty Belle as Bob Dylan). Over the years Transperformance has evolved and tribute style performances have become acceptable if not the norm.
