Creativity and banking merged at last weekend's South End Art Hop, which Northfield Savings Bank was proud to sponsor. 

The annual three-day event in Burlington typically draws more than 30,000 people to celebrate the arts and community. Run by the South End Arts and Business Association, Art Hop shuts down part of Pine Street to showcase the work of local artists, as well as food and music. 

Northfield Savings Bank helped kick off the weekend festivities with a Friday pre-party featuring food from Bluebird Barbecue, drinks from Magic Hat - including their new Art Hop Ale - and, most importantly, wonderful company. 

NSB staff also had a great time on Saturday at Kid's Hop, where we had balloon animals and games of Plinko for the little ones, and introduced the STRUT! Fashion Show at night, which highlighted the work of Vermont designers. 

We love being a part of this fun and innovative event!
