Welcome to this week’s edition of Community Connections!

The mission of this newsletter is to highlight small businesses, bring people together, and encourage community connections. We do this by publishing articles on the always-free NewsBreak App. If you don't already have it, you can download it by clicking here. By doing so, you'll be supporting the Community Connections newsletter even more! However, you can still read all the articles linked in the newsletter without the app (always for free!).

This free-to-attend festival offers plenty of activities, from crafts and treats to music and giveaways!

How is this FREE?

Thanks to the NewsBreaks Creator Program, the writers get a small part of the ad revenue that NewsBreak makes. That means the more time you spend reading our free articles, the more you support our free content that helps connect you with the Eastern Massachusetts community!
