It’s time to mark your calendars for Southborough’s summer end splash. The 12th Annual Southborough Summer Nights will take place on Saturday, August 29th. (Or the next day if the weather doesn’t cooperate.)
As usual, the event kicks off at 5:00 pm and ends with fireworks after sunset.
I’ll be posting more about it as we get closer. For now, here’s the event press release thanking sponsors. (You can also check out last year’s fun here.)
Kicking Off Summer Nights 12th Year
The Southborough Summer Nights event is bringing together another spectacular evening of entertainment, fireworks and family fun for Southborough residents. This year will mark the 12th anniversary of the locally funded event which will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2015 starting at 5 p.m. at the Neary School with a rain date of August 30.
“Better Her Than Me”, a popular dance band, will be with us again this year due to wide popularity. Our main attraction – the fireworks display put on by Atlas Pyro Vision Productions – will be at the Neary field to ensure its spectacular display as in past years, while still maintaining extra room for the attractions. The fireworks could not be possible without the generous sponsorship by Bill Depietri of Capital Group Properties.
Each year, Summer Nights continues to address attractions to include every age group. Popular attractions, such as the Rock Climbing Wall, pony rides, 65 ft. Obstacle Course, face-painting, Bungee Run, Rolling Video Cart and many more will be returning to entertain everyone.
Southborough Summer Nights could not be possible without the support and commitment of our sponsors: Brendon Properties, St. Mary’s Credit Union, Eagle Leasing, Fay School, Ken’s Foods, Long Automotive Group, Marlborough Savings Bank, Middlesex Savings Bank, New England Center for Children, Phanuef Concrete Cutting & Breaking, Senator Eldridge, Southborough House of Pizza, State Representative Carolyn Dykema, The Boston Spine Group, Thrive Coaching and Consulting Group, and Wee Care for Little People and Wegmans have committed their sponsorship. For food, Dominos of Southborough, Dean’s Concessions, Northeast of the Border Mexican Food truck and Trombetta’s Creamery have also already committed to this year.
This event is entirely funded by their donations and each year they willingly support this event. “Our local businesses are incredibly generous year after year and we can’t thank them enough”, said Doreen Ferguson, Director at Southborough Recreation.
Support from the community is not limited to monetary donations. An event this large requires a commitment from the town as a whole. The event relies heavily on the assistance of the Police, Fire, CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), and Public Works Departments. “Each year, we appreciate the help and support the Town departments provide to us” said Ferguson.
We invite all local businesses and residents to receive up-to-date information about Summer Nights by going to the Southborough Recreation Facebook page and to follow us on Twitter. We look forward to this year’s 12th Celebration.
