Why are there multiple calendars?

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

THE BLACK BOX presents Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band “Street Survivors” - Nov 29

THE BLACK BOX, the region’s premier music, theater, and event venue, is excited to present the Providence-based “Street Survivors” on Friday, November 29 at 7:00pm. 

Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band “Street Survivors” 

Street Survivors take an unapologetically authentic approach to the music of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Formed five years ago, their boot stomping, high energy, soulful stage show are only matched by their “music first” attitude. From the honky tonk piano, screaming guitars, thunderous drums and haunting vocals, this band will take you to a time when Lynyrd Skynyrd ruled the world before tragedy struck.

The band will perform two 50 minute sets.

Tickets and more information are available at THEBLACKBOXonline.com or by calling the box office at 508-528-3370. THE BLACK BOX is located at 15 W. Central Street in downtown Franklin, MA.
