Friends of the Southborough Recreation Department is reaching out to local businesses. The group is seeking sponsors for Southborough Summer Nights.
For the 11th year, Southborough will hold the community celebration with entertainment, fireworks, and family fun. The festival will cap off the summer on Saturday, August 23rd with a rain date of the 24th.
Organizers promise attractions for every age, including a rock climbing wall and the “wrecking ball”.
Each year, they try to make the event better than last. This year, they are improving long lines for the most popular attractions, while also generating more foot traffic to the booth areas:
more ponies and face painters have been added as well as bringing attractions to the lawn area where the booths reside.

- Fireworks display (by Atlas Pyro Vision Productions) – co-sponsored by Bill Depietri of Capital Group Properties and Brendon Giblin of Brendon Properties
