Winchendon Food Truck Festival and Battle of the Bands Set for Saturday
WINCHENDON — With summer now in full swing, Winchendon residents have a string of community gatherings, library programs, and a major outdoor festival to look forward to over the next several days.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
Beals Memorial Library kicks off Thursday with two crowd-pleasers: a Buttermaking for Kids program and the ongoing Summer Reading Club. Also on Thursday, the CFCE Preschool Playgroup meets, and the evening rounds out with a Community Game Night — a free drop-in social event open to all ages.
Friday brings Storytime at the Library along with another Summer Reading Club session. That evening, Parks & Recreation hosts a Free Community Open Mic & Picnic in the Park — a no-cost outdoor event pairing live amateur performances with a casual summer picnic setting.
The weekend's marquee event arrives Saturday, June 27: a Food Truck Festival and Battle of the Bands. The town calendar bills it as a celebration of food, music, and summer, making it one of the bigger community gatherings of the season.
Looking into next week, Beals Memorial Library continues its summer programming with Lego Club and a Yoga session with Chantal from Shadow Alchemy Wellness, both on Monday, June 29.
