Flo Fest

Get ready for the debut of Flo Fest! We are thrilled to invite the community to a day of music, art, and local connection right in the heart of Florence, Massachusetts.

 

Flo Fest is a completely free, family-friendly festival designed to celebrate our vibrant local culture. From live music and art displays to hands-on collaborative projects, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

 

Highlights of this year’s event include:

• Live Entertainment: Three music and performance stages, plus a dedicated "Little Roots" kids music area. Performances by Sparc (Youth Rock Band), The Unlucky Shots, The Kill Phill, Ascendance, NOHO Flow and Juggle, Olivia Nied, Bobbie, and many more!

• Community Scavenger Hunt: Explore local businesses throughout the event. Visit all 12 stops to collect your stars and win a prize at the Flo Fest Booth—perfect for all ages!

• Art & Creativity: Enjoy art on display and participate in various make-and-take projects.

• Local Eats: Support our local businesses while enjoying a variety of delicious treats and meals.

• Raffle: Don’t miss your chance to win one of three limited-edition T-shirts; raffle tickets are just $5.

• Relax & Recharge: An alcohol-friendly area featuring wine and beer will be available in the eastern-most third of the festival, located conveniently near our two main stages.

• By the numbers: 30 creatives & organizations hosting activities, 30 artists on display, 18 local food & drink vendors, 16 performance groups across 3 stages, and 1 amazing community!

Please note that this is a community-focused gathering, not a vendor market. While some tabling artists and organizations may have items for sale, art sales are primarily hosted within our local galleries. We look forward to seeing everyone there for a fantastic day of celebration!
