For all the country fans out there, join us for Matt York's presentation and performance The Highwayman: Music and Stories on Friday, June 10th at 6:30pm in the Roche Bros Room. Longtime New England singer/songwriter York will perform the songs of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings and tell stories of their careers. The four songwriting legends joined forces in the 1980's to form the country supergroup "The Highwaymen". However, prior to that, they'd each established themselves as stars and their careers intersected many times since the 1960's.
York has twice been nominated as Best Male Artist by the New England Music Awards and his latest release was named one of the Boston Globe's best albums of 2019. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Millis Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. No registration required!

Following The Highwayman, we're having a kids concert the next day! Bring your littles for fan favorite Elijah T. Grasshopper's Rainbow Dance Party on Saturday, June 11th at 11am.

June is LGBTQ+ Pride month, and to celebrate we'll be painting Pride Rocks on Saturday, June 11th at 1:30pm. Pride rocks are a great thing to give friends, display outside, or just to decorate our own spaces! Join us to craft in the sunshine* and celebrate the legacy of the Stonewall Riots and the brave people who stood up that day to pave the way for rights and recognition for LGBTQ+ people. No registration required!
