Free events in Montague, MA

Gather for an easygoing, creativity-centered activity that helps people connect and build community. It is welcoming to families and keeps the mood light and fun. Participation is free, and donations are appreciated.

Local growers and makers return with favorite vendors and fresh foods that support regional agriculture. Visitors can meet the people who produce their food, with many items coming from within about 20 miles. The market also offers activities for kids, shopper incentives, and live music, so picking up groceries comes with a show.

Celebrate the close of the season at the Community Canvas End of Summer Festival. Explore hands-on maker tables, enjoy live music from Shaely O'Dou, sample bites from food trucks, and cap it off with a movie. Admission is free, with support from Mass Cultural Council, Athol Credit Union, Athol Trading Post, POLUS CENTER, Athol Area YMCA, and Lickity Splitz.
