Weekends at Camp North End include live music, food, art, fitness and more

In previous years, Camp North End, at 1824 Statesville Avenue, has hosted Fridays at Camp North End. These hugely popular events drew big crowds that enjoyed live music, food trucks, art, kids’ activities, beer, and more.

Camp North End is gearing up to be a weekend destination again, but it’s doing it a little bit differently.

In an effort to keep a safe distancing between people, the event is spreading out — both in terms of space and time.

Instead of just Fridays, events will be taking place on Saturdays too, and throughout the whole day. In addition, more areas in Camp North End, not just the Mount and Boileryard, will be involved. To see the specifics for this weekend, go to Camp North End’s Facebook page. When we learn what’s going on, we’ll update below too.

One new development at Camp North End is three food stalls, Bleu Barn Bistro, La Caseta, and Saru by Bow Ramen. The food stalls, along with open-air dining area, are along a pedestrian walkway at Keswick Avenue.

Blue Barn Bistro features a farm-to-table American fusion menu.

Saru by Bow Ramen is an authentic Nagahama style Tonkotsu Ramen shop. Tonkotsu is a Japanese Ramen soup made from pork bones, paired with a thin white noodle.

La Caseta cooks traditional Latin street food passed down from generation to generation.
