BrocktonPostBROCKTON--School officials will host Summefest Aug. 5-7 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the high school and community schools program.
“Summerfest was a great way for people of all ages to get together, have some fun and enjoy being a part of Brockton,” said Community Schools Director Kathleen Smith in a prepared statement.
“Community Schools is meant to be a center of activity for children and adults, and we see this project as a way to kick-start one of Brockton’s best events and get people excited to celebrate summer and the city--together,” she said.
Summerfest was launched in 1971 to cap off the yearlong celebration of the new Brockton High School and the recently launched Community Schools program.
The event, which ran for many years, was a blend of music, food, crafts and activities for families.
Summerfest will return August 5-7 with events and activities for residents of all ages.
The revived Summerfest will kick off Friday night August 5 with a Summerfest dance at 7 p.m. at the Shaw’s Center.
Attendees will get to kick it up with their classmates, friends and neighbors, take in a Brockton Rox baseball game, and dance the night away to the tunes of their youth.
The family-themed Summerfest activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday August 6th at Brockton High School. S
chool and community groups, athletic organizations and friends from all over the city will organize games, crafts and activities for children of all ages.
Food, music, swimming (indoors and out) are part of a line-up that promises to be a fun day out for the whole family.
Summerfest weekend winds down Sunday Aug. 7 at Campanelli Stadium when the Rox take on the Rockland Boulders at 5:05 p.m.
