Fun Fest

Thank you to all those who made our 2025 Fun Fest a success! Despite the cold weather, over 200 people attended, enjoying live music from Jazzkia Meets Hip-Hop, Larksgrove, Orquesta Sensacional, the Turners Falls High School jazz band, Abdou Sarr, and the Música Franklin students. Anne Cubberly's Giant Puppets put on a spectacular dance show with their 11 foot tall puppet, Pinto Bean. Kids and adults enjoyed getting their faces painted, making arts and crafts projects, trying out new instruments at our two instrument petting zoos, exploring the giant piano mat, discovering how water changes sounds, and playing with bubbles. 

Fun Fest was funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
