Medfield Together & Bellforge Arts Present: 2nd Annual CultureFest

Medfield Together and Bellforge Arts Center Present: Second Annual CultureFest

In partnership with Bellforge Arts Center, Medfield Together invites you to join us on Oct. 7, 2023 for our second annual CultureFest event.

This FREE family-friendly festival aims to bring our community together in celebration of and learning about the customs, traditions, artwork, music, and food of diverse people within and around our town.“We are incredibly excited to be co-hosting another event with Bellforge celebrating cultural diversity through the arts. Music, dance, art, and food are all integral to many cultures’ traditions, and we can’t wait to experience this special event for the second year along with our community,” says Medfield Together Steering Committee member, Lauren Zembron.

Everyone is welcome to attend this fun and engaging event that will include musical and dance
performances, kids’ activities, arts and crafts for sale, and food trucks representing various
cultures. Attendees can look forward to a new slate of performers this year. "There's no shortage of talented performers and artists in the region and beyond. This year audiences will enjoy the music of the Brazilian based Alejandro Brittes Quartet on their tour of the US and so much more,” says Jean Mineo, Bellforge Arts Center's Executive Director.

A comprehensive roundup of the CultureFest stage performances will be shared in the coming
weeks via Medfield Together’s social media accounts (@medfieldtogether) and at Bellforge.org.
CultureFest runs from 10 AM to 3 PM at Bellforge Arts Center, located at 45 Hospital Road

There is plenty of free parking and visitors are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs to enjoy the festival.
