Rosalia ready for Battle Days celebration

Battle Days blasts off Friday, as Rosalia’s 43rd town festival takes hold of the city this weekend.

Events are marked up and down Main Street this year. Kelly Brown of Malden has painted old-timey Battle Days-themed scenes on windows of businesses up and down Whitman Ave.

Battle Days coordinator Sarah Birrenkott noted Brown’s work is part of the heavy influence of arts on this year’s Battle Days blast.

Commemorative posters featuring a design by Rosalia student Tyler Mundt will be available, as will buttons designed by student Alexandra Naught.

Rosalia High’s art students will show their work...
