Boston Globe: "another example of local leadership combining neighborliness with civic boosterism"

Via the Boston Globe

"This Saturday, at least four Massachusetts communities will host a Porchfest of their own, including Newton, Medford, Franklin, and Dorchester (“Dorchfest”). Arlington and the Fenway neighborhood are coming up on June 20, and the second annual Cambridge Porchfest is set for July 11.

....

In Norfolk County, the Town of Franklin (as it’s officially known, though it now has city government) will host its third Porchfest this weekend. Mixing private residences with municipal spaces in Franklin’s Cultural District, this Porchfest is another example of local leadership combining neighborliness with civic boosterism.

“What’s unique about us is we’re not only on porches but on town property,” said John Lopresti, chair of Franklin’s Cultural District Committee. They’ll have music on the Franklin Town Common, at the Historical Museum, and on the steps of the Franklin Public Library, the nation’s first.

“We wanted to expand it, really bring the beauty of Franklin [by] showcasing these historical assets,” Lopresti said."
