SomerFun is just a few days away (and the forecast looks great this year…YAY!), and we have lined up quite the day of fun for the community. Here’s a lengthy rundown of all the fun (and mostly free) things to do at the event. Needless to say, there’s something here for just about everyone!
And SLF would like to extend a VERY warm thank you to our event sponsors The Somerville Arts Council and ArtsUnion…you can thank them too at their table at the event!
