Then Middleman will play until 3:00. We can't wait! Hope you will stop by to see them! Picnic tables will be available for seating, but feel free to bring your own chairs!

The Somersworth Festival Association supports arts/music in the Somerworth schools. We thought you might be interested in the musical event they are hosting after the Somersworth International Children's Festival on June 20th.

Join them on June 20th for a special, atmospheric late afternoon of music as they celebrate the summer solstice at the historic Forest Glade Cemetery in Somersworth.

They are incredibly honored to host Seacoast musicians Mike Effenberger (piano/keyboard) and Chris Klaxton (trumpet) as they bring their acclaimed project, Time & Mercy, to the cemetery grounds.

Together, they will weave jazz, traditional hymns, spirituals, and avant-garde styles into an ethereal, transcendent performance, to create a beautifully calm, introspective space to enjoy the echoes of the afternoon, lengthened by the long shadows of solstice.

If you are attending the Somersworth Children’s Festival earlier in the day, this is the perfect, peaceful setting to unwind, decompress, and transition into a relaxing evening.

Looking for a fun night out that supports a good cause? If you visit the Revo Casino and Social House in Dover, NH, between now and March 11th, you will be helping the Somersworth Festival Association (SFA) raise funds for events and programs that benefit children. Thanks to a wonderful community partnership, Revo Casino donates a percentage of their gaming proceeds to local nonprofits like the SFA.

Last night, several SFA board members had a nice dinner there, then played some slot machines and Roulette. It was a great time! One customer there was so excited because he had just won $5,000! There was also a great band playing in the lounge! So why not plan your night out today?
