One of the town’s favorite summer attractions, Friday Nights on the Green, returns May 29 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. with an inaugural event featuring the Norfolk Nature Alliance.
The alliance is a collaborative that unites local environmental organizations to champion habitat restoration and biodiversity. It will host family friendly activities, present educational exhibits about native plants and pollinator paths, hold a plant exchange and more.
The series of Friday night programs continues until August 21 with live music and entertaining programs presented each week. The Norfolk Hub will provide a free mix of community barbecues and local food vendors throughout the summer, and transportation is available for those who need it by contacting the Hub to sign up in advance.
Of particular note this year will be the Friday, July 3, celebration of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth, co-sponsored by the Hub, the historical society and the town. That night will include a parade, live music by Kettle Creek, demonstrations, family activities, a pie baking contest, a community barbecue and an ice cream truck. The baking contest will be held an hour earlier than usual, at 5:00 p.m. Those wishing to show off their culinary skills are urged to register here and bring their favorite pie to share.
