Around Town

Around Town This Weekend: June 15-18

Family, food, or a firefighters parade? However you are looking to spend your Father's Day Weekend, there's a lot going on around town to choose from!

1. Connors Farm Strawberry Festival 

Saturday, June 16th -- 9am -6pm

Kick off your Father's Day weekend on the right foot with some family fun! The Connors Farm in Dancers is hosting their annual Strawberry Festival. Enjoy live music, plenty of activities, and delicious food. Unfortunately there will be no pick-your-own strawberries this year because of draught conditions, you can still enjoy their delicious taste with teh Connors Farm Famous Strawberry Shortcake and chocolate-covered strawberries. It all begins at 9am Saturday morning (rain date: Sunday).

2. 35th Annual Berkley Firefighters Muster & Parade 

Sunday, June 18th -- 11am

Head south for the 35th Annual Berkley Firefighter Muster & Parade. A Father's Day tradition that many look forward to each and every year begins Sunday at 11am.  It starts with a parade through town with fire trucks from Berkley and surrounding communities.  The challenge: who can soak the trucks and firefighters the most! After, enjoy a BBQ on the Town Common and watch the fire departments compete in a muster, a series of firefighting games testing their skills. There are some strong, competitive departments so it will certainly be close. Good luck to all!

3.  Eat (RED), Save Lives

Now thru Friday, June 30th

The month of June is a special month for Babbo Pizzeria E Enoteca and its Chef Mario Batali. IN an effort to support (RED)'s global fight to end the AIDS epidemic.  Now through June 30th order a signature RED cocktail or RED dish at the restaurant in Seaport and proceeds will be donated to the foundation.  A good excuse to get a delicious meal for a very worthy cause.

Whatever you do this Father's Day Weekend, make it a great one!
