Fun Fest
Thank you to all those who made our 2024 Fun Fest a success! Over 300 people attended, enjoying live music from headliners The Afro-Semitic Experience, the RapOet and the Bap Pack, the Expandable Brass Band, the Turners Falls High School jazz band, and the Música Franklin students. 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.
