Townscape Lynnfield, a volunteer-run 501(C)3 non-profit welcomes local families to our Geraniumfest and Kids Day events!! This year the event is happening on Saturday, May 21st from 10:30-1:30 at Lynnfield Middle School.

We are excited to bring back Geraniumfest, a thirty year tradition, at which local residents can buy a diverse selection of premium flowers at the perfect time to begin planting! This year, our flowers are available for discounted pre-order (of red, white, pink, salmon and magenta geraniums, as well as red and pink “knock out” rose bushes) through May 6th. Forms to order these flowers are available for download on our website: www.townscapelynnfield.org. After that, our premium flowers will only be for sale the day of Geraniumfest, only at Lynnfield Middle School, starting at 8 AM on the day of the event. Attendees should note: you will be able to choose from many flowering garden favorites from a local Sudbury farm, flowering rose bushes, fresh garden herbs, and annual flowering plants will be a highlight this year!

Alongside Geraniumfest, attendees can also attend our Kids Day event! We are excited to welcome a number of new additions and old favorites from last year's event! This year, we are excited to - weather permitting - offer rides on the Re/Max Hot Air Balloon, sponsored by our own Re/Max Leading Edge! Also available to children and their families are: a Game Truck featuring 20 video game consoles, a photo booth, a petting zoo of baby animals, music broadcast by AMP 103.3 FM, Facepainting, Balloon Animals, a Lynnfield Youth Soccer Station, kids games sponsored by Lynnfield Recreation, kids gardening offered by the Village Garden Club of Lynnfield, kids sports games with SportsZone101, an obstacle course and kids play area with Knucklebones, Nerf Wars, Archery with Camp Eastman, Touch-A-Truck featuring vehicles from Lynnfield's municipal departments, 2 bouncy houses and inflatable basketball.

We will also have three food trucks, featuring "fair type" food from Doug Gordon and also Roxy's Grilled Cheese Truck (coming soon to a bricks and mortar location in MarketStreet!), as well as the “Cool Cow Ice Cream Truck”. All three of these trucks will be generously donating a portion of their profit to our group as part of the fundraiser. Also donating to Townscape will be Lynnfield resident Jennifer Scala, who will be bringing gorgeous styles for moms and daughters to her "styling tent," complete with dressing room and Lynnfield resident and local children's author and children’s yoga teacher Sharon Marrama of Here Comes the Sun Yoga,. We so appreciate the support from these individuals!

We will also have a sponsor area where we will feature all of the local businesses who have sponsored our event in order for us to provide so many fun features for local residents and their families to enjoy. We will also have a vendor area featuring Lularoe Clothing, Pure Haven Essentials products, and several local non-profits, including local resident Lorraine Sacco and Reid's Ride, the Lynnfield Chapter of Destination Imagination and the Lynnfield chapter of the Boy Scouts.
